So what are the hidden features? The article doesn’t say and I scrolled through all the comments and nothing popped out at me other than a bunch of comments of people bashing windows and sucking their own dicks over Linux?

The hidden features are flags that Microsoft enables or disables for random users as part of A/B testing. The article contains a link to the various flags that can be enabled depending on your edition and version of Windows.

This one trick explains why people who use Linux love it so much!

I mean, if using Linux made that possible for the masses, it’d be the most popular operating system in history.

Unfortunately for regular people, it isn’t that simple ☹️.

Afaik it’s a tool to interact with an API to override A/B testing in an official way.
Apparantly some tool already exists that does it. Just not the official way.
