> I call bull on every part of this story when it talks about "power team looking at windows performance as a whole, environment etc." I am sure that the Power team has the understanding that user-initiated activity isn’t really anything they can control. Once the user takes over, all tricks for efficiency go out the window. The user could run anything. I don’t work for MS but I’m sure the Power team cares about the automatic built-in stuff that runs on schedules and timers: the things they can control. The start button doesn’t click itself. I agree that using web tech to render things in the OS is silly, but Microsoft has been doing it in every Explorer window since 2001 with Windows XP. I don’t remember anyone complaining about that at the time except me.

In case of the start menu and task bar, where they are pretending that showing servings is an issue, they do have control of a lot of things. Somehow they split hairs over showing seconds, but are perfectly okay with web views in the task bar and in the start menu, and are perfectly okay with components in React Native. > I agree that using web tech to render things in the OS is silly, but Microsoft has been doing it Yes, they have been doing it. Somehow the "power team" that supposedly had ultimate control over what gets displayed had no issues with that
