This is a really great documentation of how far back various pieces of the UI go. If you’ve been using Windows for a long time, you remember when different pieces of the UI got introduced or changed and then frozen in amber until today.
Crazy to think they are still recovering from Windows 8 and the pivot to Metro UI.
- agilob 4y agoPretty sure some of these screenshots show Windows Vista design.
- sylens 4y agoOh they definitely do. And even some XP ones. But all the time that could’ve been spent updating those to a more modern UI style, they instead reinvented the wheel with Windows 8 and then had to roll it back, wasting about 5 years
- hajile 4y agoThey were on Vista/7 for years, but couldn't be bothered to upgrade the ancient Windows 3.x stuff. The problem seems much bigger than metro.
