| If you want to know how serious to take this, just look at this gem: > Enhancing Search: [...] Clearer and more trustworthy results, with results from content on your device easy to understand and clearly distinct from web results So yeah, you still get web results in your search bar, a feature absolutely zero people want and which is just there to fake Bing success, just with a little divider now next to the applications the search failed to find. |

| Not just me then? Those integrated search features have been around for so long, and always irritating. I use macOS. Same problem. Searching your computer or searching the web are fundamentally different tasks. I'm curious if anyone actually approaches them the same. |

| I think most computer users dislike this but I see a ton of normal folks do this, they don't have the same conceptual boundaries folks on this site do (myself included). |
| |
| ▲ | solid_fuel an hour ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, but is that a good thing? I think the lack of those conceptual boundaries are exactly why computers are so difficult to learn for some people. Access to web services, and the services themselves, still aren’t reliable enough to support this idea of a completely transparent computer experience where you don’t need to know what machine a file is on. |

| Its one of the first things I turn off. |

| ▲ | lloydatkinson 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | How? I feel like every time I do my ~1 yearly Windows reinstall I need to google it and then alter half a dozen registry keys and a bunch of group policy settings, and some of them are the "old" settings now replaced with something even more vaguely named (probably on purpose). | | |
| ▲ | ray_v 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Ok, I'll bite ... why are you reinstalling and reconfiguring windows on a regular, yearly basis? | | |
| ▲ | 0cf8612b2e1e 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I also reinstall fresh Linux every year or two. Forces you to confront all of the cruft that can accumulate. | |
| ▲ | alternatetwo 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Seriously. My current Windows installs are >15 years old upgraded all the way back from Vista … | |
| ▲ | Neywiny 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Honestly I should. Registry and stuff gets cluttered. Programs don't uninstall cleanly, or they change settings I can't find. On one machine I somehow set it up as a wifi print server or something and for the life of me couldn't find a way to turn it off. But it's such a hassle to setup a computer. | |
