Shows how difficult it is to design and build software at scale.

> angry at Microsoft for removing half the features in any control panel inside Windows
Tbf, I'm not sure anyone is any at Microsoft for removing things. They are angry because Microsoft does not actually remove those settings, they just don't allow them to be changed from the new UI, and instead hide them away somewhere in the same classic control panel that has existed since Windows NT...

The same people? Who are they? And since when is Microsoft removing half the features in "any control panel" in every release?
I think the real issue is that they have a clean, pretty window with five options and then a "more options" button--which, when clicked, brings up the exact settings pane from Windows NT 4 with no improvements. So we have to endure two parallel implementations, each flawed in its own way.
