Apple’s Liquid Glass reminds me of Windows Vista, or at least what Vista should have been

During Apple’s WWDC keynote, when it introduced the new Liquid Glass design material for macOS Tahoe and all other Apple operating systems, it caught my attention right away. This isn’t just because it promises to be shiny and clean, but because it finally feels like the kind of translucent UI Microsoft dreamed about with Aero in Windows Vista. In this case, however, it’s fully realized. Vista introduced a lot of visual polish for its time with Aero, but the implementation was hindered by poor performance and incomplete execution. Liquid Glass, on the other hand, feels like it could finally be a vision that’s actually complete.
