Yep, I'm under the impression the old guard is retiring and the people replacing them is not as "knowledgeable and hard working" as the old guard was, they are slipping in the GUI and compatibility areas a lot lately.

Specially with the GUI after peaking with Win7 and since Win8 the Windows GUI is regressing hard with each release, getting rid of the good'n'old control panel is a retarded decision of the utmost dimension.

Same with requiring Windows point and click engineers to now have to type commands in power-shell for basic functionality because they can't bother to add a button somewhere and everything has to be a web page when they had the excellent mmc platform already for system settings that you could operate remotely via RPC.
