How Windows OS is better for people with disabilities
Do you know how Windows OS is better to interacts with the tools, devices, equipment, apps, or gadgets designed for people with disabilities. I want to learn more about it to help them see the world through a "window", have the same opportunity to access the information & technology to improve their knowledge and insights. I have read the basic features on Windows OS and this articles: https://blogs.microsoft.com/accessibility/windows-developer-quietly-creates-apps-to-help-people-with-disabilities-communicate/ https://news.microsoft.com/features/the-power-of-technology-for-people-with-disabilities/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows?activetab=pivot_1%3aprimaryr2 But still interesting to know your sharing from the real world, maybe from people around you. How technology empowering them.

Utterances on Updates
Trying to be alliterative, not sure I succeeded 🥴 Thought I'd bore you for a while about Updates (From an almost quote by Jimi Hendrix). ALWAYS stay absolutely current❗ Meaning withOUT delays❗ I will talk about what is/was and what will be. Windows tries to restart your PC as infrequently as possible. Win10 has Saas or WaaS (Software as a Service, Windows as a Service), which refers to its FREE auto-updating. * There are 2 FEATURE updates annually or the bi-annuals, one in the Spring (H1) & one in the Fall (H2). Normally, one is Minor & one is Major. * There are Monthly Updates (2nd Tues). These are 90% security, 10% functional, so to speak. They are cumulative, meaning what IS + what's new. So, you don't have to go back & pick up anything from the past. They require a Restart. Ergo, besides the bi-annuals Windows is restarting your machine once a month. * Restarts can be set by the End User to happen outside of "Active Hours" 👌, now, that said... things have changed/are changing/will change. Some may have, already, noticed things are quicker, taking less time. A while back the methodology used for update delivery changed. The bi-annuals are much smaller & lighter & will become even more so. Updating is somewhat re-organised & more efficient: 1. Store is now handling most apps or will be & more than it did 2. Hs are being delivered in the same way as monthlies, now. 3. Some of the burden of the bi-annuals will greatly lessened in the near future. The OS will receive Feature stuff as soon as it is ready, instead of waiting for an H. This will happen via Windows Feature Experience Pack. You can see this, now in System > About, but it's not doing too much yet. Most of the above is, already, happening. Much is part of 21H2. 21H2 is heaps more than what will be visual & tangible, more than the cosmetics. Heaps of under-the-covers stuff with 21H2, as well as the superficial or visually obvious. This all improves the User Experience greatly. Cheers, Drew
News Weather and Interest on the taskbar.
When this first showed up I liked it on my Surface Go 2 tablet, but not so much on my laptop. Now I'm finding that with all of the changes that Microsoft is making to their MSN News, that News, Weather and Interest thingy is becoming quite useful, well at least to me it is. YMMV. I wish I could customize it a little bit more, but we can't always have everything we want. Good job Microsoft! and Thanks
