Here is a fun quiz - what you think are the best features windows obtained after 7 (and 7 main feature was - is not Vista)? Windows store/apps are terrible, the online integration in the start menu is a torment. Cortana/copilot are useless at best. File search is absurdly slow - to the point where the almost abandonware Everything kicks MS ass. So we are left with only WSL.

My quick list: - Multiple virtual desktops (usably built into the UI) - Screen recording - HDR support - Much better antivirus built in - Hyper-V support - Much faster search (faster, not necessarily fast) - Much better codec/preview support for the built-in media player - Much better touch screen support - Real fingerprint support instead of the pluggable API that no vendor actually implemented right - Windows Hello infrared facial recognition - DirectX 12 - Docked windows, in multiple arrangements, without janky third party software - Multitouch gesture support - Native DNS over HTTPS - WSL2, especially gWSL, the Wayland compositor used to display Linux GUI applications - Forcing companies to move their shitty unstable drivers to userland instead of crashing the kernel every time you turn on a printer. - WPA3, better hotspot support, etc. - Native phone integration - A notification system that isn't applications drawing boxes all over your screen - winget - Windows Terminal and the various advancements in PowerShell I don't like the remnants of Windows 8's UI but there were definitely useful features in Windows 10+.

I personally miss Cortana - I've used it to set timers/alarms via voice commands
