This will sound really weird, but one of my favorite little things about Windows is the way the desktop grays out after certain events occur with the operating system.

I realize that the amount of intelligence and programming it took to make that happen is probably less than it takes to operate my Texas Instruments calculator back in high school.

I don’t really know why I like it so much, I just do. There’s no real functionality in it, I just like it.

What are some of the unsung features you love in Windows that nobody else on Earth probably even realizes exists? But for you, if it weren’t there, there would be a little binary hole somewhere in your life?
