Thanks! This is the first I've read of any Win11 features that aren't just 'features'. All the articles and marketing stuffs make it seem the same as the last to major versions of macOS:

"Look at all these new features we have! (…that are so minor or quizzically irrelevant that you'll wonder why this is a whole version number upgrade instead of a .1 release).

Oh, and we rearranged a bunch of stuff into weird, often obscure, places with no justification, but we're calling those features, too!".

So, now at least I have some things to look up, even if I intend to skip Win11 for other reasons.

To be fair, Windows 11 internally identifies as NT10.0, the same as Windows 10's internal identification.

So officially, Windows 11 is just Windows 10 with new icing on top, but there are nonetheless significant changes and improvements behind-the-scenes that may or may not merit a marketing version number increase.
