Why does Windows have such an ugly first install impression? When you boot up a new Windows computer you’re greeted with the ugliest Windows XP looking window of all time. Even stock Ubuntu makes a better first impression.
Booting a new Mac for the first time feels like a slightly sacred ritual because Apple just does simple things like show an artsy “hello” and has a clean onboarding interface. Why can’t Microsoft do that?
