Today it became official news, the rumor that Microsoft wanted to stop control Panel από τα Windows. Ουσιαστικά η Microsoft επιθυμεί να μάθουμε τις νέες settings and forget about all other PC management tools.
Mr. Gabriel Aul, who is Vice President, WDG Engineering Systems team at Microsoft and the representative for program of Windows Insiders, επιβεβαίωσε σήμερα ότι ο κλασικός Πίνακας Ελέγχου (control Panel) is about to die in the near future:
Having two different applications means more code complexity and usage disk / memory. Getting to know one is more frugal.

This is really bad news for all users who preferred to use the classic control panel and avoided using the "Settings" application.
Personally, I find the Classic Control Panel faster, more advanced, more suitable for the mouse and keyboard, and better organized by the Settings app. OR
Settings application is slower and requires more clicks or typing to change something because it is organized into categories and pages. It also requires more scrolling due to its design to be friendly to touch products and many of the settings are simplified in such a way that some advanced settings have been eliminated.
Metro controls used in applying settings that are not at all friendly to the mouse or the keyboard and their use even the colors are depressing. The Settings app is acceptable for touch devices, but for users with the classic keyboard + mouse, it is a disaster.
The next big upgrade to Windows 10 is expected in November of 2015. It is not clear when exactly the Control Panel will be removed from Windows 10 but we know that the new Start menu does not have a corresponding link for the Control panel to open it.
