This is yet another thing on my "if I ever become a billionaire" bucket list.
If I ever become a billionaire... I'll have a new OS designed, from scratch, with all the latest innovations and cool stuff, but we'll promise to never change that design, for any reason, ever. That will be our headline feature. One design for the next 20-30 years. Build with us, never redesign your app again. Learn our user interface, never need to learn anything else ever again. We’ll call it an SLA for design stability.
And if it is ever painfully necessary somehow, we'll call the new thing something else, and we'll keep making both products. We'll basically pitch it as an eternally maintained Windows 7.
This sounds great, but when it feels massively outdated in 5 years and the market has galloped off to an entirely different paradigm, sales will suffer or the business might even collapse.
