Watching Apple and Google both adopt dark mode recently was entertaining, Google is still trying to support dark mode across their product suite: Windows Mobile supported dark mode across the entire platform and suggested app developers do as well since the WP7 days.

And then of course, you have both Google flirting with Android apps on Chromebooks, and the new M1 Macs being able to run iOS apps, when Universal Windows Apps were a thing over five years ago.

They've all had this a little while, but Microsoft was ahead of the game on being able to allow/deny individual permissions to given apps before either Apple or Google was as well.

I mean, Microsoft didn't have the market capture, but their platform was technologically in 2015 where their competitors are in 2020.
