Padding is the best thing since rounded corners

The sole purpose of a GUI is to present the user with a list of available options for what action(s) to perform next, and do so if the user chooses to do so.

In other words, looking good isn't a bad thing for marketing, but it should come second.

How those options are presented is very important. Many visual elements aren't simply decorative – for example, if a button is rounded and has a shadow, it's easier to see that it's a button.

This is true. However, extreme amounts of padding on everything is overdoing it a bit.

If anything Microsoft will make Scratch accounts and raid the Apple and Linux(? I haven't seen one…) topics with Windows propaganda.

That would be absolutely hilarious to see, but also incentivize breaking the CGs at the same time. Maybe I could turn this into an animation?

Yes, it is. I'm not saying they should do it, it just seems like something they would do.

padding was already a thing before rounded corners.

Fun fact: Padding was invented because mice would usually bite off the edge of a letter and make it not readable so they added spacing so if the mice ate the edges you can still read the letter

Um, so basically I was getting proof that Windows 11 was really just reskinned Windows 10, I tried to open Control Panel from File Explorer. It froze once I did, so I closed it from the taskbar and then I tried to open Start, it was laggy so I opened it a buncha times. After a minute of opening and closing, it stopped, and then I randomly right-clicked my desktop.
Explorer crashed, then everything crashed, so I pressed Ctrl Alt Del and signed out. But when I tried signing back in, it said my account was “missing”? It then signed out, but the lock screen didn't load. No keyboard shortcuts worked, so I forcefully shut down my laptop.
And Windows didn't boot up. Not even the boot manager worked. I forcefully restarted the computer again, and this time, it worked! And believe it or not,

My account was reset. (Well, it loaded into a temporary account I think.)

I tried to open System Restore, so I attempted to open the recovery options by holding Shift when I clicked Restart in the Power Options. It didn't load. It instead started Windows normally, and when I signed in again to restart again, the temporary account was removed, and my stuff was back.

It was laggy for the next few hours, but now it runs fine. I switched to the Release Preview Channel from the Dev, and Microsoft should be ashamed. As of now, I'm running 26120.1542.
