11 feels like XP with a new skin. I think they are shell shocked from vista and will never make drastic changes again. I don’t blame them vista was complete disregard for existing apps.

Did you ever use Windows 8? Because that released in 2012, just 5 years after Vista. Drastic, un-asked for changes that ruined the user experience; hideous tablet/touch interface that was mostly unusable; sub-par touch/app development model that no one adopted.
Basically it was another Vista-like release all over again.
...and basically lose your user base - especially corporate - altogether. The ability to use existing software, often developed in-house or bespoke at "we don't want to go through that again" prices, is what keeps Windows going. Break that and nobody has any good reasons to stick with Windows anymore.
I didn’t say you needed to get rid of windows…they can keep it steady and incremental like they are now. Have a parallel OS that pushes boundaries and can truly innovate!
Make a new OS without the windows debt.
