The Settings app has taken over, but Control Panels aren’t going anywhere yet.

    I cannot imagine using Windows ever again. I don’t know why anyone still wants to use it. It’s like using Windows is a disability now, to be pitied.

      The last time I saw a Windows desktop, there’s apparently now a B-roll of popup ads displayed in the bottom right of the screen. Imagine having to deal with ads right on your desktop environment?

        Most of the current Control Panel designs and iconography settled down back in Windows Vista and Windows 7 in 2006 and 2009, which explains why so many of the panels still feature the rounded, glassy look that defines those versions of the operating system

        Imagine a world where having the sleek visual appeal of a low income industrial warehouse is something to reminisce about. A world so hideously useless that covering the default screen in a vomit of applications icons like a target at a gun range seems normal.

        Yeah I mean if you’re stuck with it at work that is out of your control. A domain controller is I guess not the worst thing in the world if the organization relies on its services. But damn.
