also the reason you can still find a dialogue window from like Win95 lol, people often whine how Windows doesn't look as pretty as MacOS, but I think that's just the price for crazy backwards compatibility.

if they remove those old elements, I'd bet people are gonna rage about how their old games or software no longer work.

Actually, a lot of games arent really working that great on Windows either, Windows 7 games tend to not work at all sometimes.

A lot of companies still use Windows XP and 7 for their programs. Seems like Windows is really backward compatible (it isn't)
