Windows Vista and Windows 7 Aero but Apple's version
Undistracted focus on the most important calls blablabla...
...while showing off a user interface that's distractingly cluttered and hard to read:

This looks like an as seen on tv large text software.
That was my first thought. It looks like the same thing we have now. It doesn’t seem like a big difference.
Lol exactly, this is hilarious. Might be an Apple intelligence flop incoming. That is very distracting, there's a reason it wasn't part of the ui in the past, a blur or lower opacity option has always been a main design choice purposely ignored. Works for vision os, but I don't think it works on a non ar/vr use case.
It looks… similar? I mean, even the keyboard is not glass, but a very similar texture..
Except Aqua 1.0 ran well enough on a G4. This for some reason will require an M1 or better (or presumably an i7 with AMD Radeon Pro graphics will be almost good enough).
Here’s another two observations that see the opposite thing. Is it large text or hard to read?
I’m holding my opinion till we get more information. It might be terrible, but we’ll see.
My immediate reaction is that it looks like a cheapo UI you’d find from a low quality Chinese knockoff.
Very disappointing. This feels like a little more than a paint job. I was expecting a bigger redesign.
Both, large text lock screens and hard to see menu navigation within. Hidden options as well like in the camera app.
I really hope they fix those opacity levels. It looks like it would be horrendous to read text notifications.
At first I thought like "Hey, that actually looks a bit like an Android", but then I realized that most Android phones have much nicer UI's than that. Should have stick with the previous UI.
A lot of meh…
Where’s the video of the guy who had concepts of what he expected. Hire him Tim!

I loved the look of Vista. The clock on the desktop was awesome. If it wasn’t so unstable it would have been great
Oh my god...it looks better than iOS7-18, but iOS such a mess and continues to be cluttered with stuff from people like the last 5 presenters who literally come up with dumb new "features" just to stay relevant in their corpo positions and have something to report on their annual review. The phone app is now a mess, Messages are now a mess too, the UI is so...weird and cluttered. You simply can't compare this to the ABSOLUTE PEAK that iOS 6 was.
Why in the world can't just one person present all these things, why do I need a new person every 2 minutes to tell me how they "contributed" to this mess.

Two of the better looking versions of Windows, in my opinion. I even loved, Windows XP.
I thought a bigger redesign, it’s just a fresh coat of paint, also the dam bad keyboard is the same
Looks amazing and clean.
I wonder how long until Android OEMs start copying this? Samsung probably already melting the glass to make it liquid as we speak lmao

Saw this exact frame and came here to see if anyone else picked up on it! MR never disappoints. 😂 In general, it looks fresh though, but clearly needs a bit of work...
