That's like saying Windows does... I.e. it's not true. Maybe if you go back to the Win9x and DOS days.

I don't think you've seen the number of power user articles these days that give you two options :

Wade through 27 levels of keys and subkeys in regedit, create this dword, then stop and start this inscrutably-named service, or
Run this one line command in PowerShell.

Lmao I forgot about the registry. I was never a Windows power user.
