Exactly, usually it only installs the most important files and leaves stuff like video, certain audio ( music etc. ) and other contents on the disc - With the digital version, it all is being installed to the HDD.

I though nobody does that anymore and everything is installed by default including all the videos and other materials, but i suppose it makes sense

I can't think of any PC games in the past 6-7 years that keep some content on the disk after installing...?

Yikes, a 260 as the recommended video card? We'll see how well my 9800 can perform here. I've got a Quadcore and 8 GB of RAM, so everything else should be okay.

Speaking of RAM, does that 2 GB recommendation seem a little low to anyone else? I expected to see that for the requirements, but not the recommend specs.

      On xiaomi hyperos there's also an option to disable google assistant. I've got everything disabled. Only thing I do have installed is a web wrapped for duck.ai which claims to let you use various AIs anonymously

      I need to understand the rationale of not shipping all of these K2 improvements in a single update/release. It's giving "we will fix Windows 11 but no commitments". It seems to me that they just announce these improvements just to appease the community.

      The term "RTM" is long gone starting with Windows 10. Every current release is a GA build. This is the result of MS making Windows as a Service (WaaS).

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
