Windows 11??

Hey Microsoft,
If you want to be a successful business, don't create products that you have to force people to take for free.
Try to create products that people will stand in line for because they want them.
Oh wait...you don't have stores anymore for people to stand in line at because they all sold products nobody wanted.
You see, It works out much better if you give people what they want and not what you want.
Everyone understands this, except you.
Here's my advice for reinventing yourself. Fire everyone and start over.
And if you take away Control Panel, I'm gone for good.

I also still like having control panel. Although I have got used to doing things other ways now - mainly helped by teenage son who just intuitively used the search bar to find what he wanted. He had never used control panel before.

I for one will be sad to see Control Panel get removed. I still use it a lot. If you don't like Windows 10 and feel it's being forced on you there is Apple and Linux.

My understanding is that the functionality of the Control Panel will be kept, but the split between Settings and the Control Panel will be eliminated.

I have wondered how many people found it confusing to have two interfaces for Windows settings. I have wondered MS was going to fix that. If MS can eliminate the divide, and preserve the ability to do settings, that seems like a clear improvement.

I recognize that some people have trouble with any significant changes in accessing Windows features.

Is Windows 11 the Spinal Tap edition ?

I have mixed feelings about changes. If it actually makes things better I'm OK with it. If it's just for the sake of change then I'm usually against it. I fail to see how MS totally removing Control Panel is going to make Windows 10 better.
