Microsoft is planning a “sweeping visual rejuvenation of Windows” that is designed to signal to users of the operating system that “Windows is BACK.” That’s according to a job listing posted by Microsoft recently, advertising for a software engineering role in the Windows Core User Experiences team:
Microsoft quietly removed references to this “sweeping visual rejuvenation” this morning, after several Windows enthusiasts spotted the job listing over the weekend. While Microsoft has been promising visual overhauls of Windows 10 for years, thanks to its Fluent Design system, rumors suggest the company is planning big user interface changes for Windows that will debut later this year.
Here's a leaked preview of the windows update beta:

It really is a shambles when you get down into the system settings. With the resources MS has there is simply no excuse for having an OS as half baked as Win10 is.
Not even duct tape will fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound.

If by "cruft" you mean "blatherskite", then sure. However, while Windows XP SP3 did represent the first decent OS Microsoft ever made, Windows 7 foreva.
No this is going to be layer 3. So you will have layer 1 which is the traditional style control settings, layer 2 is the current Windows 10 Settings. Layer 3 will be something they steal from someone else. Can't wait!

I find it to be hilarious that the system setting application in Mint is far more polished and cohesive than the system settings in Win10. MS just can't seem to get a grip on human friendly design.
