    They used to have people who knew what they were doing: https://socket3.wordpress.com/2018/02/03/designing-windows-95s-user-interface/

    Now their UI team seems to just be two guys shitting in a bucket (shamelessly stealing that expression from KiraTV).

      Thanks for sharing that post, it was super interesting.

      I wish I could see behind the scenes in the Windows UI discussions, to see how we get to what we have today
