> Microsoft becoming Apple (but shittier)

At least Microsoft haven't fallen so low as to fail basic design principles like having transparent on top of transparent buttons, having disappearing controls depending on window size (scrollbars), or having corners so rounded that the click to drag mostly being outside the actual window.

The Windows 11 UI is annoying, but at least it doesn't look like a kid's toy.

That's just because Microsoft has been there done that already 2 decades ago ;) (IIRC in Windows Vista).

Same with the fine-grained in-your-face permission popups. Introduced by Microsoft in Vista, copied by Apple in Mojave ;)

One more reason for Apple to actually have delivered it properly, given that they had Microsoft's failures to learn from.

Apple's bad ideas look ugly. Microsoft's bad ideas lock you out of your computer, delete your files and give the undeleted files to the FBI.

Having a mandatory sign-in prompt when opening Notepad and two context menus is way worse than anything Apple did in Tahoe.

They did that but made it work well all the way back with Windows 7, maybe even Vista.
