For two periods last year, those using preview builds of Windows 10 could access to a feature called Sets: a tabbed interface that was eventually to allow tabs to be put in the titlebar of just about any window. These tabs would allow both multiple copies of the same application to be combined—a tabbed Explorer or Command Prompt, say—and multiple disparate windows to be grouped—combining, say, a browser window containing research with the Word window. However, both times the feature was enabled only for a few weeks, so Microsoft could gather data, before disabling it. Sets aren't in the Windows 10 May 2019 update.
The Shell-provided tab experience is no more, but adding tabs is high on our to do list.

It seems now that Sets are unlikely to ever materialize. Rich Turner, who oversees Microsoft's revamping of the Windows command-line infrastructure and the Windows Subsystem for Linux tweeted that the interface "is no more." Having everything tabbed everywhere isn't going to happen. Adding tabs specifically for command-line windows is, however, "high on [Microsoft's] to do list."

The GPL does affect (transitively) all of the software that it is linked with.
What linked means for C and C++ is pretty well defined.
The GPL does not affect other software merely aggregated with the GPL software. It is clear that a CD full of free software means 'aggregated'. But what about a Windows install disk? Is that 'aggregated' or would the GPL software actually require more of Windows to be GPL licensed?
I'm sure Microsoft wants to take the most safe possible interpretation of GPL in order to not bring their software under the scope of the GPL.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
