- baal80spam 8mo agoWhenever I see "modern Windows experience", it always turns to be worse than the original one.
- deltastone 8mo agoI would agree normally, but this one is a nice change and upgrade, actually.
- dlcarrier 8mo agoWell yeah, it says "modern" not "better". Modern Windows and OS X and Android and iOS are all worse than the old ones.
- margalabargala 8mo agoI take your point, and usually you're right, but in this case "modern features" includes things like having an "extract" button show up when you right click an archive file in Explorer.
- fuzzy2 8mo agoYou can have that, and in an even better way: Simply disable the blight that is Windows 11 context menus and go back to real context menus. I’m not even joking, they are basically superior in every way. They open faster, they have only one visual axis and they support all the shell extensions you remember. (Too many shell extensions could make them just as slow though.)
- baal80spam 8mo agoOK, I had no idea Windows 11 doesn't have it. I am on Windows 10, and then it's Linux/MacOS for me.
- blibble 8mo agomodern windows features? I imagine an electron rewrite, with DirectX 12 and Copilot buttons everywhere
- reddalo 8mo agoYes, but in this case no. The modern features are dark mode, and an "Extract" function in the right-click menu of Windows 11.
- Already__Taken 8mo agoNo update for a year for something that opens weird files from the internet is a little scary, even just dependency changes. Not that 7-zip was ever any better at that.
- TiredOfLife 8mo agoWindows 11 has 7-zip support built in.
