And not to mention the custom control panel applets hanging around out there from who-knows-what vendors.

AMD FirePro and Catalyst users are going to probably stay on an older version of the OS, considering most of those users are going to be educational institutions, engineering workshops, makerspaces/hackerspaces etc.

Can't think of any other vendor products that integrated quite as much into the legacy control panel area

I'm thinking of highly niche industrial and embedded products who are likely to be left behind.

A major traditional selling point for Windows has always been the backwards compatibility.
