Did ChatGPT generate that "What's New" article? Not exactly exciting for a human: "quality improvements to the overall Windows experience in existing feature areas"

That's more or less how Windows changelogs have been written ever since updates started getting bundled into monthly rollups back in the later years of Windows 7.

It's just the Microsoftese equivalent of the last entry in each Wine update's change notes -- "Various bug fixes" (originally: "Lots of bug fixes").

Microsoft perfected soft corporate speak before Ballmer was in charge.

I think they made it harder to install without needing to create a Microsoft account, IE to use local accounts.

Microsoft has gotten obsessive about their need for you to send them your login information for your local install.

If true, that doesn’t matter for an update. But I think it only changed in Windows 11 where you can’t run the oobe wizard without internet to skip past the account.

Except a whole new level of slowness got introduced, guess unless you're on the latest Intel cpu aleady you might not feel anything difference.
