    You go deep enough and very Windows 95 looking menus pop up. Like are they building over the old system? It’s all very strange.

      yes they are, actually. Backwards compatibility is a huge thing in Windows, it’s why you can’t name files certain names such as CON, and why you can find things from 3.1 etc. still.

        At some point last year I had a Japanese program launch a popup window that was clearly from pre-NT Windows. So bizarre.
