I lost Windows fluency around 7. I have little desire to get it back even though I use it every day as a secondary system.

How many "control panels"? How many places are there to adjust audio device properties?



Also, every time you run something in Windows (whether it's part of the OS or an App) it can be a trip down memory lane, UI-wise. Oooh, this dialog is 2015 vintage! This dialog is styled like Windows 8! This one is from the XP era! Ohh, and that rarified dialog has controls that have not been changed since Windows 95!


There's still UI stuff that hasn't changed since Windows 3.1 minus the UI kit updates.


If you want a super bad audio-related journey, try fixing external speakers connected to a Linux box. It's abysmal, and 99% of it can only be done via the CLI. Nothing wrong with that... but for something so normal I expected more ease-of-use.


Around four.
