  1. That's the thing. These weren't problems in Windows 7 and earlier, it's just that they insisted on throwing it out in order to run the same UI on mobile, laptops and desktops. The worst is that they tried to integrate touch screen displays and set ups that require a keyboard and mouse. Had they just stuck with the Windows 7 UI design that worked quite well, they wouldn't have really any of these issues. What's more, historically, they were able to allow programs to have somewhat updated graphic elements based upon the libraries and that would likely still have worked, or at least passably.

  2. You must be a millenial if you're letting MS off the hook for the inconsistency. As somebody that's used MS products from MS-DOS 5 up until the current releases, I can tell you that it is precisely because they're incompetent and don't really care what they're doing. If you'd used Windows 3, 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista and 7 you'd see a very clear evolution going from something rather rudimentary to something that's quite well polished. And if you were one of the few people to use Windows 1 or 2, you'd see it there as well. What changed is that they threw the entire thing out with WIndows 8 when they tried to support one UI on all of their devices, from small smartphones with touch screens to massive desktop monitors using keyboards and mouses for interacting. The end result was something that was butt ugly and didn't function very well. Had they stuck to evolving what they had, they likely wouldn't have generated as much excitement, but that's a good thing. This is computer software for people to use to get things done, it shouldn't be changing just for the sake of change. People shouldn't have to learn how to use the software all over again just because MS wants people to be forced to buy a newer copy.
