The Windows that would get me excited would be one stripped down to its absolute minimum, only one way to do things, all the old garbage and centuries of attics and basements cleared out. A modular operating system that could run in old machines and new, with the registry removed. I wonder if the best windows won’t turn out to be SteamOS. I switched to MacOS after many many years of windows and one of the things I love about macOS is all the configuration is in one place, stuff isn’t duplicated in multiple user interfaces, there’s only one UI style for macOS, not random bits of UI cruft accumulated over 30 years randomly appearing everywhere. macOS knows what it is. Windows seems to have had a lifetime of personal identity crisis.
