I got a new laptop that happened to have Windows 10 on it. While fiddling around on it (before abandoning ship and installing Linux on it) I was seriously jarred by how so many of the setup and configuration screens are still exactly the way they were 2 decades ago for Windows.

They put so much effort on polish and whatever on the general in-your-face parts of the UI, and yet all these archaic bits keep coming through all over the place.

I was pretty surprised. I find most Linux distros to be far more coherent and consistent experiences.

I stopped upgrading my Mac when iTunes deleted 80% of my music. It's relegated to recording music with Logic and nothing else, now. I don't trust the OS enough to care what happens to it otherwise. Eventually that hardware will die, but by then I won't be using Logic anymore, either.
