This is what frustrates me about Microsoft sometimes. They try to stick to backwards compatibility as much as possible, then once in a while they decide to change something, usually do it not great (Windows 8), then they have to have a goodwill recovery period where they can’t break anything anymore. I think the backlash to 11’s changes means we’re probably stuck with the Windows 95 printer pane for another ten years. With the advent of high speed virtualization, it’s okay to break stuff (shoot, they tried it with XP Mode in 7, don’t know why they haven’t tried it again). I don’t know if we still need 20 years of compatibility.
