What do you want it to do, that it isn't already doing?

i think they should add 3 or 4 more distinct control panels and settings menus and then call it finished

Win10 is the last version of Windows and you need to learn to deal with that

Microsoft is ditching Edge and switching over to Chrome. One day MS may ditch O/S and end up with Chrome.

Windows used to be good for the hobbiest who likes to adjust and customize. Now the software is more and more without options, the equivalent of hardware that is glued together and you can't get in there.

Cause off applications that allow all of that.

IKR? It's like standoff now. I'm sure that Apple is plotting its next moves. I have no doubt there is some plan to wait for a lull in the market and release Apple OSXI... Or OSX!(OSX bang)... Or OSXX... Or whatever. I'm sure they have something stupid planned like to roll-out the color purple and try to sell it to everyone like it's something new. I'm sure they have some shitty new proprietary plug in mind too. For such a shitty closed-up OS, they certainly do make some nice stuff. They have good people there who do make some good choices.

Personally, I like my OS to run like a bucket of bolts held together by duct tape and make edits on the fly. I get that some people don't like everything breaking like that. I hope both Apple and MS will find some kind of balance where they just compete over mostly-aesthetics in a sort of GNOME/KDE kind of rivalry. They're both pretty much competing on the same hardware market now anyway. It's not like decades ago when the instruction sets required different chips. I can buy a second-hand laptop and run a VM on an Ubuntu install that runs older Windows software running an old OSX in a VM without maxing out the RAM or even causing problems with the sound or input devices*. Mobile apps are mostly emulation machines on top of mobile OSes anymore. We're all kind of entering into an era of what kind of boxes you want put around yourself.

* No really, actually done this.
