They never really go all in. They go full force at something but they never really fully commit

Like live tiles was fine except the large sections of the Windows still used the old system, so you'd click a button in settings and suddenly you'd be reverted back to the old window system. Because they never bothered to upgrade that part of the OS.

Microsoft's problem is that they can never be arsed to be consistent.

Honestly, Windows 11 is the closest they've come to going all in. There are very few parts of the old system left, although I have found a few.

Seriously? There's a huge amount of old UI in Win11. I can't make it more than 10-20 seconds without seeing it.

And it's a shame they don't commit because I actually go against the grain in that I think the Win11 UI is actually pretty good, I'm the few places where it actually exists.
