These are all promising changes, so I hope they implement them as described in the article, and soon. Plus, of course, killing Recall and bringing back the local Windows account option during install as a first-class option.
That being said, we're really due for them to announce Windows 12 sometime soon, and that one should be a good "tick" OS with regard to their usual "tick" = good OS followed by a "tock" = bad OS (while I did use Win 95 and 98 ever so briefly, I only recall as far back as Win 2000, and it's been a reliably tick tock pattern ever since then, at least).
