>> What's completely inexplicable is why it took 23 years to do this.

That is an interesting statement. The reason why this little piece of work (similiar a resizable cmd window) hasn't been done before shows the fundamental differences between Linux and Windows in what the creators think it was made for. 99 % of the Windows users will never use the env var dialog. Microsoft gave the other 1 % (devs) Microsoft obviously a very low priority in the past.

That has changed. While I like Windows 10 overall, I still wish it was not so chatty. I don't want to need to think about what kind of personal information my devices steal and how to protect myself. I don't like it from my Android phone and I don't like it from my laptop.
