So this

ClipBook Viewer has been removed from Windows Vista and later, although the ability to view clipboard contents has been implemented into the Clipboard History feature, which was introduced in Windows 10 and later.

In Windows XP, it is not listed in the Start menu and can only be accessed through its executable file, ClipBrd.exe

Worth pointing out that there are no viable citations on that page, all I remember is that it kept functioning like a win 3.1 and not integrated as the sentence above suggests.

Also gone all together in 7: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2660614/access-clipboard-windows-7

And even when the clipbook was there, I would not call it functional by any means.

Yes tabs in Windows 11 filemanager. Still no split screen, but at least you can keep file management in a single window.

Do you just immediately turn off every feature a desktop environment gives you? I have no problem if you simply use Sway or something that lets the DE get out of your way. But if you are going into a discussion about the features of two DE’s and say I never liked having choice, I just turn it all off, whats the point? Seems like a stupid argument to be had.

Stuff linux had that windows didnt for YEARS: Virtual desktops (I am sure you hate those, I have used them since Amiga days), linux technically has two clipboards and ways of selecting paste, windows still cant do single clicking effectively, colors and other file visualization, alt-drag anything, muti taskbars, keyboard tilling managers… and on and on

YOU may not like it, but the fact is windows was featureless compared to Linux.
