> win11 is a completely new program

It’s barely a UI skin! It’s not even complete or self-consistent, and the original Win10 skin is still there under it, feature-complete. People noticed that certain boot failures of Win 11 bring back the original Win 10 look!

It’s basically a “Mac mod” for Windows made by a bunch of Apple users working within Microsoft.

Ironically, one of the qualities of the Mac is the consistency of the interface styling and UX irrespective of how specifically the task bar works, while Microsoft just keep adding layer on top of layer so that depending on which bit of the system you are in you get UI styles ranging from win11 through win2000 (plus, if you dig, a whole bunch of pixel art icons from win98).

At one point that was just quaint, now it's getting ridiculous.

The Win 3.0 folder selection dialog is still around.
