Since the advent of Windows 10 ordinary people have gained the kind of virtual desktops that only wealthy Mac or tech-aware Linux users could have in the past (Win+Tab, new desktop at the top; Ctrl+Win+right arrow). Multiple clipboard copy/paste with a clipboard history (Win+V to paste). A running program history (Win+Tab and scroll down) to go back to them, and maybe to sync between devices when signed in with a Microsoft account. Ordinary programs reopen after a reboot, including things like Notepad coming back with unsaved file content. Windows' photo app on desktop does the same kind of image recognition and face recognition that smartphones do, enabling search-within-image. Windows tablet devices have handwriting recognition in basically any input box in any program
Nobody in tech will consider them "ambitious" since tech people could do them years ago, but what use is a video of live editing in Smalltalk on a research machine to most people?
