In favor of what? I still have to use control panel because some things are seemingly unreachable by the "settings" menus.
Yeah. This sounds a lot like some PM type thinks they're gonna get rid of control panel, and they just don't know what all is actually in there.
And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.
I wonder if there would be a way to "embed" those old panel applets into the new settings somehow.
I bet they at most remove control.exe or make it open the Settings app, but still allow launching old vendor .cpl items just like they already can be opened in Control Panel.
This is already implemented on a lot of the settings pages on 11.
Edit: just wanted to add I don't think well. I use it at work.
