The en-metro-ification continues.

I mean, sticking with a paradigm that existed at least since windows 3.11 (my first version of windows) isn't exactly ideal, entire software stacks are built around it existing.

It's really too bad that Microsoft abandoned Windows Phone, because that is where this UI makes sense. But shoehorning the mistake of windows 8 into everything seems like doubling down on failure.

It would be nice if a competitor entered the space where usability is the goal and be an open source solution.

Perhaps this is the year of the Linux desktop?

Turns out the year of the Linux desktop will not be heralded by making Linux better, but by making Windows worse.

ReactOS?

If usability is the goal, then ReactOS is not the answer.

The hero we didn't know we needed.

But have you heard of TempleOS my son?

I have two perfect logo ideas. One with a cute little penguin, the other with smirking gnu. Just spitballing here

E: corrected pitballing to spitballing, which my phone thought was the correct autocorrect...
