    Ah yes. Perfection:

    Or maybe:

    No? maybe this.

    Edit I missed windows XP

    No shakeups at all, it’s like a rock.

    Perfectly reliable and unchanged from the beginning.

    Edit since folks choose to distinguish “Settings” from “Control Panel” as if that doesn’t make the point even stronger. I’ll admit that it’s been pretty consistent since Windows 7. Still very different than the first iteration.

      Well, the last 2 images you linked are Settings and not Control Panel, from versions that decided to not only have that but also the Control Panel, and Control Panel is thematically the same across all versions

        That makes it worse! Clearly they did not get it right the first time around, or there wouldn’t be any reason to tweak and replace it all constantly.

          There really wasn’t.

      Control panel is that drawer of tools, tape, rubber bands, and glue that’s near the kitchen
