Classic Windows
January 25th, 2009
Engadget’s Windows 7 Beta In-Depth Impressions article mentioned something I haven’t really thought about with regards to Vista, 7, or even XP: The ugly underpinnings of the operating system.
Windows 7 shows where Microsoft’s industry dominating OS has hardly changed from its Windows NT heritage — it doesn’t take very many clicks to find the ugly underpinnings of the OS, aspects like the “true” device manager that have hardly received an aesthetic upgrade, not to mention a functionality upgrade, in the past decade.
I was reminded of this little gem that has also lived on in the Windows OS. Does anyone actually use these display settings? Unreal.
