Can you share a few examples of said features?
Despite really wanting to use it, I skipped Vista when moving from XP to 7. I didn’t get to use 7 much as I switched to Linux shortly after.
The ones that seem to have stuck in my mind the most is sorting files. Using certain combinations of storing and grouping would do one or the other, and not both.
I think this one sticks out so much because it seems like something people would notice more. But I guess people don't use the "group by" feature in Windows all that much. I'm certain there's more but it's been a while since I learned about them.
The search in Windows has never been good, but you can literally put in a partial match, and not find what you're looking for, then put in a specific match and it comes up.
Eg: *.jp* vs *.jpg
Maybe you want to find .jpeg, and .jpg files? Nope, fucking broken.
Which isn't to mention all the times I had to repair goddamned Cortana, in order for the start menu to find programs.
Like, shit was broken. IDK what to say. I didn't have those issues with Vista. After the patches for stability, the OS worked a treat.
Interesting. I did use group by and sort by, but I guess I didn’t use the specific combination where it didn’t work as you mentioned.
Also, I did not know Cortana was available for Windows 7. I am sure it wasn’t there when I was using it. Perhaps it got introduced after I moved away from the OS?
Maybe I'm conflating Cortana issues from Windows 10?
After a while, it all kind of blurs together.
