Microsoft shot real lasers through a window to make Windows 10's wallpaper — surprisingly the iconic art wasn't computer generated (www.tomshardware.com)

Kinda weird to think this will be the last version of Windows I use.

I mean they fucking advertised it as such when I bought it

Oh man I forgot about that!

Remember all those great updates to windows 10 that brought cool new features such as... Yeah, I don't either.

WSL maybe? Kinda funny that a major feature is literally just the ability to use linux within windows.

Didn't they recently remove that? Or make it much harder to access?

Not sure about the future of WSL, but WSA (android) has been discontinued.

It's not really a suprise seeing as they partnered with Amazon for the app store, no side load support and as far as I know they didn't really mention it anywhere in the actuall OS, so few knew about it.

(Oh and when I tried it, getting it to work for just one app took way more effort than it should have)

For me it was Windows 7.
