New developer experiences in Windows
summary
Windows shows a concrete toolset: Dev Home as a customizable dashboard with a GitHub extension and widget host, a machine setup flow that clones repos into a BitLocker‑encrypted ReFS Dev Drive, and Dev Drives that report up to 30% faster file I/O; WinGet Configuration uses YAML to automate installs and VS workloads; WSL ships systemd and updates via Store; Terminal prototypes a GitHub Copilot chat for shell commands; PowerToys adds Peek and open‑source Mouse Without Borders.
