Apple’s Liquid Glass is Windows Vista done well

It’s hard to look Apple’s new “liquid glass” aesthetics and don’t think Windows Vista, MicrosoftMany mammal OS that do not know the effects of transparency and glass like a bold new vision for calculating. You can see similarities between AppleUI and Vista’s “Windows Aero” design language, from anywhere, glass applications iOS 26 and Macos Tahoe 26 Vista looks very similar to the bright tabs of Vista, see the transparent backgrounds used to reduce Vista’s transparent window boundaries. The main difference, Apple just makes it better. (Sorry, don’t regret it, Windows fans.)

Although Microsoft started with an interesting idea, Vista could not implement Windows Aero UI. Basically, Vista itself was a great confusion – it was more slowly than Windows XP, and the drivers were poorly managed. If you want to participate in the fame of the Aero Transparency Bar, you need a computer with a powerful GPU. It was more rare than today in 2007, even integrated graphics can work well with the main 3D and fancy UI elements. With Homegrown Chips, Apple also provides decent graphical capabilities on devices that support other new software releases with iOS 26, iPado and liquid glass.

In addition, unlike the fluid glass from Windows XP to Vista, it helps to have a really great change in the liquid glass. Apple uses a flashier UI and a wider range of Apple, releasing the Archaiic Skeuomorf design trend in favor of a wider range of flowers, more widespread and more stylish. Sure, your tabs and menus can be a little more shine on them in iOS 26, but they are basically the way you remember. (Apple also moved towards transparency in its desktop operating systems, in 2001 moved to a broom in the operating systems of the desktop, which gave a bright background.)

For the general wisdom of Apple’s fluid glass, I can contrabilize compared to Windows Vista, and personally gives you a person who needs a lot. But I think most of my majority seem ugly, but I can’t convince you else. High news editor Avery Ellis is “busy and shamelessness” and the editor-in-chief of Aaron Souppouris “Feel like Aero,” As always, you can also reduce transparency effects and movement elements in Apple’s accessory settings.

But after the first iOS 26 developer spends a little time with Beta, I am interested in more liquid glass than anything. This app is like small jewelry I just want to touch, and I dig through transparency effects along the OS – almost like a look for the future we use holographic apples. (There is something I feel when using Visitions in the Visions Pro that serves as Launchpad. While scrolling down, the groundbar below your screen. However, if you go to the ground bar, you go back to the ground bar or hits it back.

It may also be a sucker for innovation. I returned to my Windows XP days, I used applications such as WindowBlinds to customize OS and add transparent effects. Apple has signs that it can go a little bit with transparency, iOS 26 management center (above). It looks good if you slip inside an app, but if you are on the home screen, it is one of the many levels of glasslike windows. I was able to see that some users were a little greedy.

In addition, the interface re-designs are often rejected from the first glance, especially since you can see them through screenshots and videos. Even Apple does not repeat the practice of using Slick Marketing magic liquid design. In my experience, iOS 26 is not really different from anything that really comes. After receiving the initial shock of a new interface, you can see it with new eyes.

Apple’s new operating systems are still long until it comes to this fall, and if beta complains of them, the company often rots large design changes. I could see the transparent background or better of the Apple Management Center, to control the amount of liquid glass elements on the screen to control the amount of liquid glass. Personally, when companies interface are a little too much extension, there is always room to return. This is better than being very conservative and never put your aesthetic vision.
