Design evolution of the Windows control panel

While I agree, Id also argue virtually every posters opinion on HN about design of the Windows CP is useless. Most of us are power users and it we are not power users we are incredibly opinionated about some UX stuff.

I like PC’s for power users. If we dumb down the PC, the people using it get dumber too.

But I don’t know. 7 year old me could figure out the classic control panel. I don’t think it was that hard.

'Normies' probably never open up the control panel/settings to change anything, ever.

I dunno, you seem like you've got pretty strong opinions on UX.

Imho, it's better to observe the generalizations we each fall under, and use it to learn more about ourselves.
