I left Windows long ago for Linux, but TFA leading with this had me questioning whether it was an April Fool's joke they let out early.
… this was a feature in Windows 95. I didn't even realize they'd removed it! Is the author too young to remember a time when the start bar was positionable…?
… to then follow "we listed to your feedback" with "more AI everywhere" … it's satire … right? Right?!
