Not really surprising. Windows hasn't had significant investment from Microsoft in a while, unless it's cramming bullshit AI and telemetry "features" in.
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.
Not OS, and it’s older now, but powershell is pretty great and vscode is nice.
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 is disgusting (my opinion).
Explorer tabs are SO ANNOYING. Coming from using dolphin at home, then windows explorer at work MAKES ME CRY. I might actually use dolphin on windows, but the builds dont seem to be properly supported (i dont think?) or at least in alpha/beta or something and I don't wanna have a buggy file explorer thats not made specifically for an os. But come on dolphin can do it right and fast, why can't a billion dollar company?!?!?!!?!
I was exited for the explorer tabs and virtual desktop, but OMG they are sooo bad ! In case of the virtual desktop, they even made it worse with Win11, now the animation is so slow and can't be configured.nyou can have either slow ass animation or no animation at all which makes it very confusing to use.
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.
Pretty sure that happened over a decade ago.

What even is that? A precursor to Copilot? If so, DEFINITELY doesn't qualify.
If you're not using Notepad++, you're wrong and should be ashamed of yourself
Absolutely abominable and mandatory. A winning combination 😮💨
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.
Not sure if this is the same thing, but KDE (on a linux system) presents me with options to login with smartkey/fingerprint, so it might, I'm guessing? I dunno if thay's what passkeys are referring to, but if yes, then I think it does.
Not the same.
If it'a not (ie biometric, etc), what's the difference or what is it on Windows?
My understanding is that window's passkey support differs from something like what is offered by linux distros in that, instead of storing your passwords in a strongly encrypted, audited, and trustworthy store like 1pw or similar, windows instead stores them in the OS.
Which personally I consider a con, I don't trust windows to store pictures without fucking it up, why on earth would I give them passkeys?
Many websites can explain it better than I can from my phone.
Apple has passkey support in all their OS’s too
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.
