Microsoft Throws Some Shade At Apple Over Their “Brand New” Liquid Glass Aesthetic

Have you heard? Apple introduced a delightful and elegant new software design. At least that’s how their press release worded it.

It’s called “Liquid Glass” and it does look something like what that name evokes. A lot of shiny, transparent layers being all sleek.

But you know Apple – half their inventions are inventions, and the other half are repackaged stuff someone else made years ago.

Looks like this is probably the latter, as pointed out by @windows on TikTok:

“Just gonna leave this here,” reads the caption, over a slideshow of desktop screenshots from Windows Vista, a version of their OS that was released almost two decades ago in 2007.

Looks pretty glassy…and liquidy.

“Y’all good???” reads the description, though they stop short of mentioning Apple directly.

@windows

Y’all good??? #Windows #WindowsVista #WindowsAero

It was a pretty good PR move.

But does anyone really own this look?

Literally every comment was a fight.

Time for everything to revert to this style?

Personally I don’t understand why people have such strong opinions about which Windows versions have been trash.

They’re fine. They’ve all been fine. Every platform has bugs. Relax.
