Re: Settings

Control Panel was designed for mouse and keyboard users.

Settings was designed for touchscreen users with limited screen space, where the buttons and controls have to be grossly oversized to work with fingers and tapping (which allows no positional feedback before sending the click event).

Now that Windows mobile has been abandoned, why are PC users still expected to tolerate inferior phone UIs to cope with platform problems (small screen, having to work with touch using big soft fingers) that don't even apply? The migration to "everything's a phone" continues unabated, even on PC versions of applications and PC operating systems for which touch is not a good ergonomic fit.
