  I seriously can’t remember the last time a windows update added an actually useful feature for me. Its like they are actively avoiding making it any better at all.

    • Explorer tabs.
    • Significant improvements to power management.
    • Terminal/ssh
    • Quick restore and autopilot
    • Notepad tabs Windows hello, passkey support

    Not OS, and it’s older now, but powershell is pretty great and vscode is nice.

      Explorer tabs

      Pretty sure that happened over a decade ago.

      Terminal/ssh

      Same

      Quick restore

      Same

      autopilot

      What even is that? A precursor to Copilot? If so, DEFINITELY doesn’t qualify.

      Notepad tabs

      If you’re not using Notepad++, you’re wrong and should be ashamed of yourself

      Windows hello

      Absolutely abominable and mandatory. A winning combination 😮‍💨

      passkey support.

      Which all of the competitors except maybe Apple’s walled gardens already had?

      Face it: windows has seen at most a handful of positive changes since XP and at least a dozen as many negative ones just since 7.

        Explorer tabs are 2022h2 so not that recent.

        Terminal was 2020 so yeah that’s old.

        Quick machine restore was only July.

        Autopilot is enterprise provisioning any device from an out of box state. Only mobile devices have this.

        Windows hello isn’t mandatory. it’s passwordless security, just like mobile devices.

        I don’t believe Linux supports passkey in the os.

        Apple has passkey support in all their OS’s too

      They might add features, but none of them are a joy to work with or use. They are usually slow and buggy and annoying.

        Powershell has some nasty little quirks, and the command naming is user-hostile, but god damn is it great to pass objects around instead of parsing and reparsing text.

  Microsoft long ago migrated Windows away from home and recreational computer users to business machines that have non-business uses. Any optimization was ignored in favor of soaking up more value from users.
