    Am I crazy or are they just reskinning old windows? Go deep enough and old windows things pop up in a disjarring manner.

      That’s by design. One of windows core features is it’s backwards compatibility.

        I’m not talking that old programs can be run. I’m talking if you dig into the settings deep enough, a Windows 2000 looking screen will pop up out of nowhere.

          It’s the same thing. Stuff relies on it. And some stuff is just there from laziness. The only Windows being reskinned is 10. That’s what 11 is underneath.

          It’s probably because of compatibility. Who knows, maybe that’s the loadbareing UI. It all falls apart if they change it.
