Wanna bet they fuck it up just like they did the control panel and the right-click menu?

I can't wait for around 80% of features moving to this one and needing to perform some kind of ancient incantation to access the old version for the remaining 20%

Why are the literal only two things they know how to do:
- spamming AI slop into shit
- half-assedly, inconsistently and pointlessly pick some old-ass UI to "reinvent" in a worse way than the 9x era shit??
Seriously? (Well, not seriously seriously. Rhetorically "seriously".)
Great. How about stop spying on us first?

I still type appwiz.cpl into search to open the old add and remove programs box to uninstall or see whats installed. I am not a fan of the newer looking one at all located in the new settings area. It is pretty funny that they have been working on trying to fully replace all the old windows elements since the beginning of 10 and still not even close. Even funnier that when it is replaced the old stuff still gets left behind and not removed either.

Microsoft has a responsibility to support decades-old software, which is why you can download an app or game made for Windows 95 and still run it on Windows 11.
Eh, debatable, some titles of the 90s might not run, even if you set the executable to run in compatibility mode.
My other concern is that WinUI surfaces have historically paid a cold-start cost when loading the runtime. Even today, File Explorer’s WinUI context menu gets criticized for exactly that. The WinUI-based Home tab in File Explorer is slower than “This PC,” which does not use WinUI.
M$ wondering why people are pinching their noses when near w11 when they've been slopping all over it. Release something broken, "fix" it later, only this is going way, way worse than XP (which needed 2 service packs to "feel good" and be safer), Vista (which needed W7) and even 8 (which needed W10)

More shit to relearn. What would takes seconds now takes minutes due to a clunky UI designed for looks rather than efficiency.
