I have noticed slight improvements to Windows core suite of apps. Explorer and Notepad have tabs, Paint has layers, and the "power toy" called 'run' is the best launcher on any platform I've tried (and I've tried a bunch).
Seems like M$ is trying to meaningfully update it's core software recognizing that what features are "basic" has changed. Seeing as how this is just added functionality with no proximate adds or other shifificatiton, we should be glad.
Not to downplay how good Run is, but I believe it's effectively a fork of a launcher called Wox. A better fork with many improvements, but it's worth noting that it wasn't cooked up at MS from scratch.
