VPN handling.
L2PT in Win 7 either auto-guesses your routes, or you have to add your own - after each connection, as a local admin, with ever changing interface name. You don't have scoped DNS either.
Windows 8 (!) fixes both these things: you can set up routes together with the connection for once and all, you can have scoped DNS, and you have complete control over cipher suites. As a bonus, you have Powershell API to that.
Windows 10 inherited this from Windows 8.
So this is one datapoint, what Windows 10 does way, way better than Windows 7.
