> Why isn't everything available in Group Policies (which could also use a re-organization -.-) by default, with a well thought-out UI in the new Settings app by now? It's a valid question but also not easily answered. The Control Panel still exists for a myriad of reasons. The Control Panel goes all the way back to Windows 3.x and contains interfaces to adjust things that while still supported are no longer relevant. The Control Panel also allows vendors to inject their own interfaces for managing settings, famously Synaptics Mouse Drivers and Flash. Getting rid of the Control Panel is easier said than done. Unless or Until they cut support for legacy systems, the Control Panel will probably persist even if the UI is hidden from the user behind Feature Activation or something else.
