> Windows 10 reintroduced the start menu

A great feature. They dumbed it down though.

> Unlike in previous versions of Windows NT, the Win32 console windows can now be resized without any restrictions.

Truly a great achievement. It took MS 2 decades.

> It can be made to cover the full screen by pressing the Alt+↵ Enter combination on keyboard.

Maybe i'm too old, but this was always working.

And the cherry on the cake: > The modern Settings app from Windows 8 continues to evolve in Windows 10,

I mean, taking a man, cutting his limbs and stuffing his mouth, hardly can be called "evolution".

Reintroducing a previously removed feature, like the start menu, doesnt count as a new feature

It could be resized since Win2000 I think, but not by dragging the window edges, there's a Properties dialog box accessible from the top-left icon menu. You can set the window size there. There's also a Defaults dialog that sets the properties of all future console windows.

Yes all those Wikipedia articles only mention three things. Three things is all Microsoft did in twenty years. And they are all bad therefore Microsoft bad.
