The Windows Control Panel was first released in 1985. That’s 39 years ago. That’s longer than the time between the Wright Brothers’ first flight and the first jet aircraft.
How is Microsoft still doing fundamental rewrites of core features?
- wvenable 2y agoI don't understand your point. What are you trying to say?
- mulmen 2y agoI’m saying if Microsoft hasn’t figured it out by now they never will.
- wvenable 2y agoI still don't get what you mean. Clearly Windows isn't the same as it was 39 years ago and if it didn't change in all that time we wouldn't still be using it. Every operating system rewrites fundamental core features all the time.

- vel0city 2y agoThe X Window System was originally released June 1984. That's 40 years ago. And yet we're still having debates and active development on how to have graphical sessions on Linux. iptables was released in 1998. That's 26 years ago. And yet those Linux devs are still working on nftables and firewalld. If those Linux devs still haven't figured out how to do graphical sessions or firewall by now they never will. FFS how to boot/init Linux is still under active development and some rapid changes over the past several years. If they can't even figure out how to boot how can you take those devs seriously? Or maybe you redesign your stuff for the realities of today instead of just assuming what a few people did in the 80s was the be-all end-all of software and UI design.
