Well, when Microsoft finally admits they're wrong they usually backtrack well enough. Think windows 8/8.1

It was still an ugly pig with lipstick but the worst parts like the start screen were gone.

Wasn't 8.1 basically the same except the start button was back on the taskbar instead of hidden behind a weird gesture?

[–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No, the start menu was back, in 8 it was a big full screen affair that was ridiculously big on a 24" monitor

Oh noooooo 8 was much more than lipstick. No, that was a giant inflatable space pig rushed out the door with the body of a moose and Constructed of fine mesh.

Fascinating to watch the car crash though.

That was a different time when they were getting the smackdown from Janet Reno.
