    Regarding the open command prompt from any specific folder:
    In W10 all you had to do for the same result was to go to a specific folder and type 'cmd' in the address bar. I can't remember if it was already like that in W7 but it was already quite practical. The addition in the contextual menu is nice though. A launch as admin would be even better.

    Hi.
    Just one tip:
    The feature of opening a Windows Command (CMD) on every windows explorer folder, is also available in Windows 10. If you type "cmd" in the folder address bar (replacing all the path) it opens the windows command prompt in that folder. It is not Powershell but it is also a very good feature.

    Alternatively, if you specifically want the command prompt just typing "cmd" in the address bar will open cmd in the current directory.

    according to this the best things about Windows 11 are either subjective "it looks better" (I personally think the aesthetics are rubbish) or that it runs linux, which is a whole different operating system. So basically windows itself has no real changes for the better, on the contrary it removed functionality and customization but requires more resources to run. This has been one of the worst releases of a new windows version imo. They could have added new functionality or made it run more efficiently and catered to the things we love about windows that differentiate it from other OSs. Instead they tried to make it more like mac OS, removed functionality and customization and thrown in Linux for good measure. It's a pathetic effort and stepping in the wrong direction. If this was a rushed attempt to stop their diminishing user base and fend off the competition then they just shot themselves in the foot. They're basically telling their user base that they're better off with Mac Os or Linux.

      I like the WSL additions; I'll really use those (there are several OSS packages which didn't have great windows distributions, but would be nice to try). I tried GUI programs in the old WSL and it was really complex and essentially unworkable IMHO. Some of the other really minor feature enhancements - like the slightly less terrible settings interface are also steps in the right direction. Both of these features incidentally weren't new, they're just a somewhat improved.
      But these steps have absolutely nothing to do with the overall poor direction - the absurd hardware requirements, the anti-user addition of a bunch of clicks and removal of means to avoid those clicks.
      I even kind of understand the motivation behind the context menu changes in explorer, but boy, this was the wrong solution. What a terrible version!
      The one good thing about it is the idiotic hardware requirement. Why is that good? Well, at least that'll protect a bunch of users from using this version; and it'll ensure critical mass on the old version 10 for much longer, leaving it better supported by software publishers.

Omitting Win NT and 2000 see if you can see the pattern: Win 95, 98, 98SE, ME, XP, Vista, 7,8,10...11. Notice that 98, ME, Vista and 8 were all HATED OS versions? Notice where 11 falls into the pattern? I'm not holding my breath for 11 being a success for users to fall in love with or for technicians to want to deploy.

    I've been using Win7 since it was new and have become highly efficient using it. I don't see any significant advantage using Win11. It seems as if they've, once again, moved everything around so it is difficult to find and made available linkage to Linux which is useful only if you are a Linux user. For the very few people who want to indulge in Linux it is easy enough to download a version and use dual boot to bring it up. Switching back and forth is not a significant improvement. Using Mint as a Linux GUI is probably much easier for Windows users.

    You can open a cmd window in any folder on windows 10. Just navigate to whichever folder you want, click the top bar where the path is and replace everything with the word "cmd" then hit enter and boom, a cmd window will appear with the path of the current opened folder. In windows 11 is just easier but it's not a new feature... 😉

    5:30 yes. Windows 98 did use the Windows terminal to control certain less user-friendly aspects of their computer. But as hardware like video and sound cards became standardized the proprietary software became Direct X API files it was unnecessary for users to have low-level hardware access because it could be done more safely through the API programs. Viruses or other malicious instructions could not execute through the API software layer. At least in theory. The criminals immediately began looking for loopholes.. This was a major reason why XP was so stable. They tried to make it too safe in Vista but got it a lot more stable under Windows 7.

  • @webx135
    @webx135 2 роки тому +3

    Some of the "cool brand new genius features" in Windows 11 are basically them bringing back up old features.
    I don't remember if Windows 98 did this, but in Windows XP you used to be able to do ctrl+right click or something to pull up "Open Command Prompt Here". Now I must say, it is REAL nice having it embedded by default, without an additional button press or regkey edit. And the Windows Terminal is easily my absolute favorite new feature. I've already almost used it to replace PuTTY. Like, it's amazing having it all unified and customizable. Command? Done. PowerShell? New tab. SSH into server? Right there. Python/Node/Ubuntu terminal? One click away.
    The "Acrylic" theme is pretty old. Windows XP used to have this with WindowBlinds and StyleXP, and it was the Aero theme in Vista and 7. 8 and 10 are the first to go without it. I'm not sure if you've mentioned it in this video yet since I'm still watching. But it seems like a lot of other reviewers have short term memory loss, or at least it feels like some weird Mandela effect when people are like "Look at this TOTALLY NEW NOT DONE BEFORE feature!" That we had a decade and a half ago.
    And I SWEAR the rounded corners feature is a joke. Specifically pushed by Samsung and at Apple's expense for certain corner-related lawsuits that were an insult to the entire industry. People are so excited about those corners and it seems oddly disproportionate. Maybe that's just me, since I did this with StyleXP in the early 2000's.
    It's cool to see these things native though. Especially more docking zones. PowerToys was always so unreliable with this feature.

      no no no ,with all due respect...that is wrong,there is nothing new in Win11 for a specialist to like,

      good...cute and good looking...for the average consumer who is only gonna surf the web and play some games.
      worse for the specialist because he has to learn the new...
      idiosyncrasies of a "new" OS...WITHOUT actually gaining anything new.
      and where did you really see the "extra technical abilities" of Win11 on this video? WHERE? :-)
      what he says is good in Win11 in this video...here:
      1 the UI (rounded corners-animations etc) pointless.
      2 the settings layout-says the control panel still is better, I agree.
      3 multiple desktops-that is something almost all OS have.
      4 open windows terminal on current folder -seriously?
      this feature is present in windows 8 too (Windows Console+power-shell)
      and actually in most windows versions.
      "looks matter if you like to be a lot more productive" :-O facepalm!
      the more tabs on powershell and terminal...ok that is good ;-)
      5 windows subsystem for linux-?
      you can have that in win10 too,
      and "specialists" cut out the middle man...they go and use linux! ;-)

    As a laptop user, one thing I like about Windows 11, is the animation when you connect to an external monitor. No need to guess if the monitor is detected by the system, as sometimes we get cable problems or connection problems.
    To add, the settings for display (pc monitor, duplicate, extend, second screen) is no longer the huge tab that eats the right portion of the screen, and is now a small window at the lower right which I really like. The huge tab is unneccesary.

A lot could've been done with just regular updates. Win 7 works perfectly fine, runs the same exact programs + is much more lightweight and beautiful. No malware if you install the proper antivirus that still supports Win 7 (Kaspersky or Avast, for example). What's the point? Computers are made for work and running programs (and рогп of course), I could care less about all these fancy bells and whistles. Why don't they just leave us alone and let us use our favorite time-proven OS's, god damn it...
