Yep, MS is basically stuck between a rock and a hard place. They can't innovate very fast because they're dragging a 30-year legacy code ball&chain around, but they can't even start to make something from scratch, because people would just use linux if there's no backwards compatibility.
As they point out at the end, this wasn't about the old control panel, but the new settings panel. It's all brand new code.
Yes I read it. It's brand new legacy code ๐
Sounds like they are developing win32 code. The resource id nonsense is very win32.
So yes: instant legacy code. Win32 is dead.
