Rounded corners? This is the hill you are choosing to die on? How are these trivialities impacting your day to day use of Windows?

I'd say I'm quite the opposite. I'd much rather hear Microsoft working on core technical improvements rather than adjusting the goddamn roundedness of their UI.

The missing UI features and anti-ergonomic styling is affecting my workday more than tiny improvements in performance or memory safety.

And unfortunately my new computer does not allow rollback

Yeah, like more telemetry!

Honestly the Windows UI is kinda annoying, and it did effect my performance until I recently ditched it for linux w/ i3 as the WM... I want something straightforward and to the point. The windows UI peaked at XP, everything else has been inferior.

I agree. XP had the best experience out of any MS OS.

Microsoft keeps messing with the UI in obviously deleterious ways. If they didn't rewrite the entire interface in 11, no one would be complaining about 11's rounded corners. The very fact that they decided to add rounded corners has likely already distracted from kernel work.

Do you remember when Windows 10 was the last version of Windows? I wish we could go back.

The Windows team is so huge that I wouldn't be surprised if the people writing the shell and the people writing the kernel barely know eachother's names.
