how many new UIs was the windows team developing at the time? shouldn't "the new UI" suffice?

“New” is a bad way to refer to something. It loses meaning once the new thing isn’t so new or has been replaced by something newer.

Say a document talks about “the new windows UI” and there were like 5 different versions of “new ui” during the lifetime of the project. Which version is the document talking about?
