The new "End Task" button has to be activated from the system options
In a nutshell: Microsoft has quietly introduced a new Windows feature allowing you to deal with unresponsive applications faster. A new "End Task" option is available directly from the taskbar, streamlining a process that usually requires a few more steps and a trip to the Task Manager list of running programs.
Cutting corners: A new report has reignited the debate over how much tax the world's largest technology companies pay, revealing that the so-called "Silicon Six" – Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Netflix – have paid nearly $278 billion less in corporate income tax over the past decade than would be expected if their profits were taxed at the average statutory rate for US companies.
In context: The "thin client" concept is almost as old as computing itself, dating back to the first terminals used to access mainframe computers in early multi-user systems. Today, thin clients are primarily used in the enterprise market to simplify the management of employees and off-site operations – and Microsoft clearly wants a piece of that.
