Thanks for the nice site/review. As a side note somehow (and as I see it) "evolution" has a positive connotation, i.e. an evolution step brings something that is seen as "better", and unfortunately, in the case of Windows Control Panel, this is very hard to state. By reading the title only I had the at first sight impression of the article being some form of MS fanboysm. Something like "How the Windows Control Panel design changed over 36 years" would IMHO be more neutral.

That's an interesting viewpoint, thanks for this. I hadn't thought of it that way but I guess I can understand that angle. To your point, the HTML title of the page is "36 Years of Microsoft Windows Control Panels Design History" which is what shows up as the title/first line in Google searches.
