So I’ve been using Linux since 2006 after moving away from Windows during college. Since then, I’ve used every major Windows to keep up to date and because it’s a part of ,y job to stay current.
What I’ve discovered is MS doesn’t actually iterate. They never abandon the old. Parts of Windows are from XP (and cant tap into dark mode UI). Then from 7. Then parts of 10. Then they added new stuff in 11, but everything else remains. Which is why they have 200 DX libraries.
The most peculiar company on the planet that unmistakably generates shit upon shit because it just can’t stop hoarding.
There are still parts from win2000 like the whole *.msc
I think it goes all the way back to MSDOS. Hell, I think there's even some windows or icons from Windows 95 or 98.
I've seen mention that stuff like the odbc connection manager have parts dating back to 3.1
