The TaskBar today in Windows, has a feature that makes it descend below the bottom edge of the screen, yielding more screen space. Microsoft did not invent that, but the MacOS did at some point in the past (perhaps MacOSX 10.1 or so). Since that's optional, you won't see that happening on every user desktop here. Powershell has tab-completion. And that likely came from tcsh, Rather than claim Linux invented that, it would pay to read the Wiki first. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcsh When my project at work, designed computers and an OS, we copied mercilessly from things before us. There were *complete* environments already in existence. It predated Linux. It would be silly to claim anything we did there was "totally original". All OSes are like that now, they copy things from elsewhere, until they're all the same. the only thing that prevents some OS projects from doing that, is a lack of manpower, not a lack of intent. And some OS projects were beautiful... and nobody copied those. That's why my screen looks like crap, in Windows. Won't someone copy a good way of rendering stuff ? Some things are "religious issues". For everything else, you copy, you copy mercilessly. Paul
