Microsoft’s preview of Windows 11 25H2 arrives under a familiar headline: no sweeping performance gains, and in independent creator‑workload benchmarks it still trails Linux by a noticeable margin. Background Windows 11 25H2 is positioned as an incremental, enablement‑style update rather than a...

Microsoft’s decision to close a high‑visibility employee forum and to roll out a phased, three‑day‑a‑week return‑to‑office baseline represents a coordinated reshaping of how the company will manage employee speech, campus security and everyday work patterns — a package Microsoft frames as...

Windows 11 still feels like two operating systems glued together when you hunt for settings, and the old community trick known as God Mode remains the fastest practical way to make sense of the mess. Background / Overview Windows has been migrating decades of Control Panel functionality into the...
