I click Windows 11 "Start" button and under Recommended it has the last 6 files I opened. Click "More", and there's a list of files for the last two weeks with dates, and timestamps for the last week. So they've already got this idea covered.

We do have all the News and Weather and other "Suggestions" turned off.

Adding features isn't inherently a bad thing, but we don't believe Microsoft can do it without making the existing features worse.

That sounds like a useful feature. Thanks.

alas my new work laptop is still on win 10.

WinFS and Longhorn are back on the wishlist, apparently. But this time you're getting a really fat thin client OS and non-deterministic execution.
