Well, let's see: Rounding corners of buttons and window borders, making bigger titlebars for Office programs and increasing space between GUI elements, adding one more click to access the menu in Win 11, adding an useless "theme" setting with "default", "dark" or "light", where "default" can be either "dark" or "light". I think they call this innovative UX/UI, increasing startup time for all programs, etc.


I wrote code when I worked there.


And did you succeed? Few does nowadays. Little good if any is shown in the results. Looks like marketing and sales guys pushed around by management is the business there for very long. Sometimes to f up the user experience, they must have a very dedicated and talented specialist group for that there, they are goood in that!
