    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.

      Control panel is that drawer of tools, tape, rubber bands, and glue that’s near the kitchen
