..for more details.

In fact that page as a whole shows much more detail on the current
Redstone5 predicted changes.


That page is better than the earlier reference in that it contains good
detail which includes screenshots.

It's always amazing to me for mature products like Windows was back in the
days of XP onward, that, even with thousands of developers working on it,
they still don't much that is useful that can't be done in Windows 7.

You'd think something would be better appreciably, but looking at the
release page, nothing sticks out as particularly useful except that they
say they removed a few annoyances (like Notepads' wrapping propensity).

Your detailed article linked to the "Best 7 Features of 1809"
https://pureinfotech.com/windows-10-...-new-features/

They list these best 7 features as
1. File Explorer dark mode
2. Cloud-powered clipboard
3. Search experience
4. Screen Sketch screenshot tool
5. Storage sense with OneDrive cleanup
6. Change system font size
7. Your Phone

Since I still have Windows 7 laptops, I always look at what is in Windows
10 to see if there is anything compelling.

I don't see anything compelling. Do you?

Your reference also linked to the 10 best hidden features of 1809
https://pureinfotech.com/windows-10-...dden-features/

1. Typing insights
2. SwiftKey
3. Print Screen mapping
4. Windows HD Color
5. Adjust video based on lighting
6. Locally available cloud content
7. Windows Update reboot logic
8. Microsoft Edge media autoplay control
9. Microsoft Edge Web Authentication
10. Microsoft Edge dictionary

Is anything there compelling?

If not, how can it be that thousands of people labor on a release, and
there still isn't much compelling over Windows 7?
