I take your point, and usually you're right, but in this case "modern features" includes things like having an "extract" button show up when you right click an archive file in Explorer.

You can have that, and in an even better way: Simply disable the blight that is Windows 11 context menus and go back to real context menus.

I’m not even joking, they are basically superior in every way. They open faster, they have only one visual axis and they support all the shell extensions you remember. (Too many shell extensions could make them just as slow though.)

OK, I had no idea Windows 11 doesn't have it. I am on Windows 10, and then it's Linux/MacOS for me.

I would agree normally, but this one is a nice change and upgrade, actually.

Well yeah, it says "modern" not "better".

Modern Windows and OS X and Android and iOS are all worse than the old ones.
