Looks like that news just came out. Glad to hear it. Now let's hope it's an automatic upgrade for as many Windows 10 users as possible.

- Windows have rounded corners
- Teams integrated into Windows
- A new widgets fly out for weather, news, etc. (appears this will require you login with a Microsoft Account)

With huge monitors becoming the norm, having important click targets aligned to corners makes little sense.
It doesn’t? Because I think it’s easier to throw the cursor at the absolute corner of the screen and click rather than have to carefully select a button somewhere along the X axis. Just a thought, I’m a macOS user myself.

Then when they upgrade, what do they do? — continue to use Windows to make cool stuff so our company continues to grow and, in reality, persist with the same exact workflow they had the week before... it just looks a little different.
