    Windows Control Panel. Everything’s there, multiple ways to sort it all, no need to go shake things up

      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.

      Oh hell no. You don’t remember it coming out and everyone complaining about how convoluted it was. Pepperidge farm remembers.
