Windows 10 support callouts are putting food on my table like nothing else I can remember. Bring it on!

The update will also introduce Windows Inking – which lets you draw directly onto PDFs, and employs Smart Ink, which improves the shapes you draw and constructs tables from boxes.

Might be useful for a handful of cases and very useful for others, though those people probably use the Adobe suite or something else designed for it.

Windows Find my Pen, for those who use smart pens with the OS, is another new feature.

A handful of tablets?

OneDrive Files On-Demand – access files stored online as if they were stored locally.

I don't like OneDrive, it should be optional to install.

Improved Game Mode – let your games use the full processing power of your PC as if it was an Xbox.

This feature doesn't work properly, tried it once. If you are running e.g. voice chat in the background it actually worsens your FPS. Hope the updated version is better, but I'm not going to use it, it's designed for lower end devices. Should be interesting.

Improved Windows Defender – updated with “cloud intelligence”, enabling new defenses against ransomware and exploits.

Doesn't it already have this?

Windows Mixed Reality – combine the physical and digital worlds through a supported headset.

If only I could get a headset, this is the most interesting feature if only I could use it...
