As someone who has daily driven Linux on all my devices for about 5 years now, I actually forgot that windows didn't have built in rar, tar and 7zip support. Absolutely bonkers that it took them this long.

They actually removed the old FTP support, it was somewhat still useful for local servers that didn't have samba shares.
