Nothing. As you can see almost 99% of the comments are not about it but about Windows itself and unrelated questions. This is a very common phenomenon in HN.

IMHO It's better to think about these posts as "proxy discussions posts". I think many HN users yearn for a post where they can argue about a particular topic but straight up posting "Hey lets discuss and argue about Windows" would be seen as a low quality post, even though everyone secretly wants to dive into the comments on those kinds of posts.

I find that the HN community has many unique and charming aspects to it compared to other communities on the internet.


Drag and dropping files from PC to phone as an officially supported first-party feature is nice.
