Reply to comment by nikanjX in Microsoft is bringing back classic Taskbar features on Windows 11 — but not because it screwed up by AliTVBG

Shit will never catch on. Mac OS isn’t a mobile OS, why should Windows be?

Have you seen the latest update? The settings app is basically the iOS settings and it sucks.

Actually yeah I hate that. Good point.

MacOS and their mobile OS’s are more closely related than you think. iPadOS can run a lot of “desktop” apps natively now.

The merging of their desktop and mobile platform/ecosystems has been Apple’s vision for quite awhile now. That’s one of the reasons they pushed to design their own chips.

The difference between Apple and Microsoft in this particular area is that Apple has been doing a fantastic job at integration while Microsoft is leagues behind.

What integration? Microsoft treats Windows as both desktop and a tablet OS. Their adopted mobile platform is Android which integrates excellently with Windows if you own their or Samsung's phone
