Why does Windows 10's installer still use Aero?

Why does Windows 10's installer still use Aero?

That's not Aero

Aero is transparent my dude.

Whatever. It's still this rounded Vista design from 2006.

Looks like Windows 7 Basic to me

Another thing about Windows that poor Loonix users want to shit talk about?

What did he meant by this

Aero superceeds whatever default theme is available, and doesn't work during setup because it requires a graphics driver.

I don't think that's aero, but whatever. To answer your question, it's because Windows 10 isn't actually a "new" operating system, they have just been slapping shit on top of Windows 7 for years and calling it a new operating system.

I don't think they could even create a new operating system if they wanted to. All the competent devs are gone, replaced by code monkey pajeets.

Given the almost exponential decrease in quality over the years, I am convinced that Microsoft actually lost the source code and are just copy-pasting .dll's at this point.

They're only interested in botneting your machine, not ricing it.

This is the average Windows 10 UI consistency for you.

You've come to the conclusion that Windows 10 is just Windows 7 Botnet Edition because of a legacy installer window?

You need an incredibly high IP to understand OP.

>control panel

It's aero. Thick edition. :^)

It's winPE you nigger monkey

Not really a thing in newer version of Windows 10

What, did you think they actually program the whole thing from scratch for each Windows version?

Windows is created by retards, they could not design a consistent user interface if they spent billions on it.

Why does modern Windows software from 2017 still use Windows 3.1 dialogs?

No, there are many reason to believe that they stopped trying, I was just answering OP's specific question about the junky installer.

This is untrue, the old devs knew what they were doing.

They do quite a lot of changes under the hood, its it just a theme

I got it! You PE before the POO!

>KNEW
Exactly, they can't anymore.

you meant to say Vista.
think about it. 10 years of fuck

>current year
>installing windows 10

I remember reading some chat logs from a Windows dev writing about the painstaking process of changing a single tiny thing in control panel.
I wish I could find it
He described it as a complete nightmare, so nobody bothered with it. Honestly, I wish Microsoft manned up and recreated in control panel FULLY in metro, with all the functions.

Now, the thing is, Windows 8 came out in 2012. We have had dual control panels for 5 years now. Do you mean to tell me that Microsoft hasn't had time to properly streamline something like that for 5 whole years?

To me it seems more like they simply can't. I mean, 5 years years is insane.

Most of the stuff you do is in the metro version. I don't think I've opened up the classic control panel in nearly 2 years

because it's shitty software that uses the shitty dialog that doesn't let you enter a directory via textbox

Why does Microsoft allow programmers to be lazy and write shitty software? Why doesn't Microsoft just remove this dialog from modern APIs? Isn't that what compatibility mode is for?
What a shitty OS

>remove something old programs need
>old programs stop working and even more people bitch about Windows 10

Old programs were not going to be compiled with the new API anyway. Again, Windows already has compatibility mode where it uses old DLLs to run old software. There's no reason to keep this garbage in the modern API.

Software compatibility is broken with every major release, so it's nothing new. At least the classic dialog is there, despite most classic programs won't run on w10.

...

This is the same for every large company. They just can't fail quick because their legacy and buy outs keep them alive.

>webm
that was very cute
source?

This.

Metro is surface level stuff.

It can't even do a simple thing like showing a Wi-Fi network's password. What the hell.

Minami Ke

Isnt that theme available on W10?
It's probably just the default one.

thanks my good friend

I doubt that.

So you're saying they should exclude it but that they should also include it?

Yes you can

>Metro is surface level stuff.
As a layman I found this the hard way when trying to set a printer paper size from A4 to 4x6. This was for printing labels for a courier service parcels. I was on the phone with the courier tech support for several minutes and the poor guy on the other end was getting frustrated because they're running an older version of windows and I couldn't reach the setting menu he was instructing me to because the option wasn't there. Not even searching for it on cortana gave any results. I finally found some way of reaching that menu and the GUI just looked like some windows 98 shit like I was using an entirely different OS.

I'm literally a baker with no higher education and that day I could see the disgusting patchwork that windows has become. Microsoft needs to get their shit together. Google will eat them alive if they can come up with something even slightly better.

Oh really? Mind demonstrating that?

You are literally the first person I see to make this claim.

Microsoft could easily update the API OS side so that an up-to-date dialog appears instead of that one.

Changing a dialog that is handled entirely by the OS doesn't break comparability.

Because windows 10 is basically windows 8.2 with built in botnet.

It shouldn't be part of the modern API. Old software already loads old libraries so it doesn't change anything. Those programs are archaic themselves and were never going to be compiled with newer APIs anyway.

because aero is the last UI worth a shit

You're incorrect. Windows 10 is based off of Vista, not Windows 7.

I can show ur mum when I nail her dirty bung hole tonight

Comedy gold )))
