Windows 10: Windows 10’s Control Panel Will Go Away, Could Survive in RTM

Sales yes, albeit Income taxes no, I am over 72 hence, no income tax. . .*Smile

 

I am much older than you, don't have any W2's and pay a lot of income taxes! Please share the secret.

 

I'm not adverse to moving over to Settings, but it's something I think MS should have done in one go instead of bit by bit over a period of time. Also they really need to flesh out the Settings that are no longer available in CP, such as choosing certain files for your desktop slideshow instead of having to choose the whole parent folder, or adding back the same amount of time between slides. These are only a couple of items I've stumbled on but I'm sure there are more that are missing or not as in depth as CP was.

While I don't think W10 is a dumbed down OS, the settings that have migrated to Settings and have disappeared from CP so far are certainly dumbed down.

 

I'd rather have them make clean cut and cross over to Settings than to have to chase stuff here and there.

 

I agree.. MS has moved things all of the time in previous OS's. This is far from new.

 

If you're on SSI, Meebers, you generally don't owe taxes on it. If you have a nice fat retirement from a company or have a nice fat income from investments over the years, then most likely you do owe taxes. *Smile

Hubby and I don't owe any taxes at the end of the year, so we don't even have to file. *What

 

Nice, isn't it? It still feels "wrong," somehow...! Lol! But in actuality nothing could be finer than thumbing nose at the IRS, especially with the present crowd they have in there now. That IRS head honcho acts as if he's the Lord's Gift to the government. People like that guy, though, unfortunately festoon the government bureaucracies. It's like he's wearing a sign that reads: "You can't fire me so don't even try!" Grrrrr....those folks rub me the wrong way...!

 

The fact you don't owe taxes does not mean that you don't have to file. If you earn over $10,700 you must file even if you don't have any tax liability. If you are retired and over 70 1/2 you must file if you have a 401-k or an IRA.
Be sure to get competent advice before failing to file .

 

When I first read that they would not have Control Panel, I wasn't happy. But someone on the forum said to take a look at all the features in "settings" which I did. I then discovered that I can be happy without CP as everything seems to be in settings.

 

Hi there

in MOST (if not all) jurisdictions income taxes depend on your INCOME (after taxable allowances have been deducted) --not your age --- Unless you have some really "creative" accountants" if you earn more than a minimum amount (value depends on Tax Jurisdiction you come under -- note not always where you live) you'll pay some tax. Even aged 95 year old mega rich "Rock musicians" will pay if their royalties after expenses exceed the minimum tax threshold.

(Some places - but very few such as Monaco might allow tax exemption but those places have very strict requirements and the numbers of those places are very few indeed).

I'm sure over 70's in USA pay income tax if their "Taxable income" exceeds whatever the minimum value is there (plus any State / other taxes). If not the USA would be SWAMPED by over 70's all rushing to live tax free there. !!!!!!

Cheers

You lot are rambling, what has income tax got to do with control panel. I will miss control panel. The settings slider is nearly invisible.

 

Yes--we are a little office topic. Let's get back.

 

Awwwwww, shucks! That's just the nature of forums . . . if you haven't gotten off track within three posts, sump'n's wrong.

 

Yes! That was my thought before even reading the thread.
