Pretty sure some of these screenshots show Windows Vista design.


Oh 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


They 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.


I imagine the things that they thought were the most important to update in Vista were also the most important to update in Win7, Win8, Win10 and Win11, always for the same reason.
