All microsoft software I used is increasingly bad. Loop is a complete mess, office is a maze of useless options, windows became so irritating I actively sought out another option, teams seems to be half integrated and half not with anything else, and has an interface that is steadily getting worse and worse.

Steve Jobs explains why this is the case. A famous video of his:

This explains a lot. Apple iPhone is the new Xerox copier. Liquid Glass is New & Improved but not functionally different.


It's because of their target, they target corporate non-technical IT where the end users have no idea of what they actually want but want it all integrated, badly, and it all works brilliantly for Microsoft as feature x is $y/mo.
