The designers of the "settings" screens in Windows should be utterly embarrassed. They are pathetically useless, especially when compared to their predecessors apps like the MMC.

I really love the ones that redirect you from the Control Panel to Settings, but then are somehow still missing the old functionality, so it then bounces you back to the Control Panel.

C:\Windows\explorer.exe shell:::{BB06C0E4-D293-4f75-8A90-CB05B6477EEE} for the old system dialogue.

The new one actually does the same for once, but I often use it to jump to the menues of the left. At least those weren't replaced yet. The new ones are just dreadful.

Windows 7 with Media Center was the best Windows. All went downhill from there. I just wish that somehow Microsoft messed up so badly that Windows for desktop goes the way of Windows Mobile. What's that, you ask? Exactly.

Windows 2000 was my personal favorite. Modern (for its time), lightweight, stable, and the UI didn't get in your way. It took the good things learned since the Windows 95 and pruned the not-so-good ones. I think that was peak Windows.

If you had the drivers, Windows XP-64 was fantastic. A (ahem) workstation twist to Server 2003, which was better than XP and updated version of Windows 2000. I really miss the ISO tweaking tools that were common in the 2000/Win7 days.
