Yep. The notion that AIs, funded by companies like Microsoft of all places, is going to lead to a golden age of user interfaces boggles my mind.

  To be fair, didn't they actually do that with the UI element it's named after (windows...)? I think the menu bar, the window with the header bar and the action buttons where all pioneered by them back then, or am I mistaken? It's been 30 yrs though, so I get what you mean.

    IIRC, Microsoft "borrowed" the design from Apple Macintosh, which in turn was based on Xerox's technology. So no, they weren't the pioneers.

    That's fair, I think the Microsoft of 30 years ago did pretty well with UIs. That said, given the state of Windows 11 and their other modern products I think their current priorities are quite a bit different.
