Windows GUI Evolution (1984 - 2023 + Betas)
Ғылым және технология
It's been a bit over 2 years since I've done a video covering the full evolution of the core Windows GUI, so it's time for a refresh with more Windows betas and Windows 11 23H2.

Microsoft had absolutely done perfect Aero for Windows 8 ( 4:19 ) But what do we have? We have Win8 UI, which looks like it's made in MSPaint just in 5 minutes! I still can't understand why didn't they implement Aero as an addition to RTM version. Mobile devices weren't so slow to be unable to render this. And if they were, why didn't they make a basic theme? Microsoft, as always, made a [__] out of good product and lost all the possibilities.

Back then, people would build PCs just for vista and 7 and they would draw like 200 watts just for gpu acceleration ---- probably. That reason is mostly gone now. Now that a lot of desktop computers are very efficient and consume like 10 watts at desktop, bringing it back as an option just sounds so fun.

Win8 attempted to emulate smartphones and tablets - stupid because a desktop or laptop is not a puny touchsreen device, it doesn't need to work around UI problems which aren't present Win10 embedded forced updates, telemetry Win11 embedded reinforced updates, telemetry, and advertising Every version after Win7 has been increasingly anti-consumer. Because Microsoft has realized that they can milk their market monopoly.

The non-aero will appear if you lack a wddm driver to use in Windows 7 for your hardware,This mean GeForce 256,2,3,4, TNT2,Voodoo 3,4,5,and Cirrus GD-5446 will run on Windows 7 without WDDM Drivers but they will never get their drivers on Windows 8 working!
Nice, but would have been cool if you showed Olive Green Luna and the 2 Sample Test Visual Styles in 2419

I've always liked the "look" of Windows 3.1 GUI - simple, but cool :) Win 9.x was good too, and Aero from Vista/7 was the best looking Windows GUI in my opinion. In later versions of Windows they made a step back...

Great video! 👍 Aero still the best ❤️ I have a suggestion for your next video, Antivirus UI evolution 😃 like Kaspersky, Avira, AVG etc.
windows 8.x and 10 have ugliest window frame design ever made but I still like the metro UI, aero design (vista and 7) have the best looking of all time, XP's luna and royale theme has special place in my heart, Fluent UI is kinda modern approach of Aero but shame they didn't implement it system-wide
i cant believe they designed tons of cool window designs and one day just ditched em and make it white (or black in dark mode)
Windows 23H2 (Tabs Added)
Why do the first Whistler builds look so modern? & Longhorn too
The best era was 2000-2009. So nostalgic. But i think Windows 9X were good (only 98 because 95 and ME are kind of trash, in my opinion).
Microsoft should've kept the watercolor theme for Windows XP.

Whistler build 2428 is actually windows XP?
So the future of Windows from now on is it looking like Google Chrome. All Windows versions will be based on Chromium
Windows 8 Build 8014 like Aero Lite
I don't get why people hate the Windows 11 GUI so much, it looks smooth, clean and modern, not to mention all the cool animations and transparency effects that come with it

Notepad is Underrated
Whistler build 2419 is still my favorite followed by win98/2000. Also the song has serious remilla vibes, love it.
Digamos que desde hace años Windows podría haber tenido la interfaz actual en cuanto a minimalismo, antes le ponían cajas, sombras, fondos, etc. a todo, ahora solo ponen interfaces simples y planas o como lo llaman "fluido", me pregunto qué hubiera pasado si empezáramos al revés, una interfaz minimalista como las que tenemos ahora, ¿Cómo habría evolucionado? Incluso podemos volver a lo minimalista porque simplemente es mejor.

Can't believe Microsoft went backwards with the GUI, ever since Windows 8 it looked more horrible, I would rather have the Windows 98/ME/2000 classic theme than the flat dull ugly look of Windows 8/10/11.
