  • Comment: You've done a nice job describing the features of this software/service, but I see little significant coverage in independent reliable sources about this topic in particular to merit a standalone article. I would suggest that you start a talk page discussion at Talk:Microsoft Windows about the merits of either expanding that article or having a standalone article about this topic. 331dot (talk) 08:37, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
