(also the standalone isntallers provide some feedback on what they're doing such that you aren't left wondering if the pos has locked up. i don't know why the windows update panel doesn't provide that information as well.

this latest windows 10 update took almost as long to install as the original win 10 upgrade. i hope there was some good stuff in it.

my start menu has "most used" back again, instead of being strictly alphabetical, so i am happy with the changes so far

Microsoft is planning to kill off one of the more unique features of its Xbox One dashboard: snap mode. The software giant originally introduced snap mode as a method to watch TV or run an app side-by-side with a game. Microsoft is now on a mission to improve dashboard speed and multitasking, and snap mode is being removed to help improve the overall dashboard lag.

Xbox Platform head Mike Ybarra revealed the change on Twitter yesterday, noting that “we replaced Snap to improve multitasking, reduce memory use, improve overall speed, and free up resources going forward for bigger things.” It’s not clear what those “bigger things” are just yet, but rumors have suggested Microsoft might opt for some type of picture-in-picture mode to let universal apps run alongside games.

How does retroactively removing an advertised feature from your game console not violate consumer protection laws

I'm guessing their excuse is that you signed a ToS that gives Microsoft the right to do anything they want up to and including remotely signalling your console to catch on fire

people have sued for stuff like that but it ends up settling and the lawyers get all the money, e.g. sony will give you like $12 if you can prove you installed linux on your ps3

yes, a good way to speed up multitasking is to remove it entirely.
