Certainly these are all examples of important features available

Hi Roger Blake,

There were over 300 inputs from over 30 authors on this important topic.
o As such, there are 2 critically important concepts this thread revealed.

a. Windows has perhaps plateau'd in that there's been fewer than ten useful
functionalities in Windows 10 that you can't do in the older Windows.

b. Almost everything that Microsoft advertises as value in Windows 10,
can be obtained in all the other Windows by an intelligent user base.

Including updates.
o Just not automatic.
