   I've heard that and trying to be like OS X also (stealing stylistic clues).

   I'm not sure what they're getting at.  I watch a lot of streamers on Twitch   
   that do play current games and even on big fancy (and expensive) computers   
   like top-end Alienware, Windows still bombs out badly.  Doubly so if it's a   
   vtuber (virtual avatar) streamer playing a video game under Windows.  Their   
   avatar will just either freeze or completely disappear because Windows   
   breaks under the load.   
      
   I'd thought about streaming games but what I'd do is have a Windows box to   
   play the game and then a good Linux-based system (say a HP Z800 workstation)   
   with a good AMD/ATI graphics card running OBS to handle the actual stream   
   encoding via a capture card that can capture the Windows box's video output.

   I do not know why they keep breaking/removing/hiding features like that.    
   Instead they go crazy fixing stuff that isn't broken like Notepad.   
      
    NA> And its 2022 and adding an IP printer is still a convoluted mess.   
      
   That's always been a mess and lower down on the priority list for MS, I   
   guess.
