Back in October 2012, when Microsoft officially introduced the new Windows 8, many users bashed the software giant for dropping the Aero Glass effects and going for a flatter look, explaining that older Windows versions looked much more eye-candy than the modern successor did.Īs time passed by, everyone got used to the new design approach, and after many companies actually switched to a flat look for their products (see Apple and its latest iOS releases), people stopped complaining about what Windows 8 looked like.
