Does someone remembers the PowerToys collection?
That name rings a bell. My username is from "Tweak Tools 95", which I think was a part of that or something.
Edit: Also Windows has a long history of alternating good and bad versions.
- 98 - good
- ME - bad
- XP - good
- Vista - bad
- 7 - good
- 8 - bad
- 10 - good
- 11 - bad
In theory, the next version of Windows should be fairly good, or at least an improvement on 11. However I worry that MS will buck the trend now - particularly as they've pivoted away from software sales to software as a service (with additional data collection because fuck paying users).
