FINALLY!

While integrating 7Zip file compression into Explorer was no big deal, it'll be nice to have it there from the beginning. The Tar support will also be useful. But the version control, that's going to be very useful for casual developers who don't want to mess with installing Git or similar repo controls.

The /. discussion has a lot of talk about Total Commander, Double Commander, and Directory Opus.

About time for tar and 7zip. I wonder if this happened because they want people to use WSL, and many things for Linux are packaged in .tar and .7z files. And because a lot of people use git to do version control, especially the kind of people who might want to be developing on a laptop that interfaces with a lot of Linux systems.

Win11 still seems to be moving its way in the direction of sucking terribly, though.

Here's hoping things stay fine for you, now that you have the toys adjusted.
