Tracking what's new in MSIX and what's supported in Win10/11

[DanGough]

There are some broken links resulting in 404s here:

Defer registration flag Force provisioning

There may be others.

Also there are many other new features I'm interested in tracking that are not in this table (listed below along with the supported OS according to the page):

• Flexible Virtualization
  • Windows 10 21H1
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/flexible-virtualization
• Start Menu Groups
  • Windows 10 Dev Ring 20257
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/packaging-tool/create-start-group
• Legacy Context Menu Support
  • Windows 11 Insider Preview 22000
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/packaging-tool/support-legacy-context-menus
• Shared Package Container
  • Windows 10 Insider Preview 21354
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/manage/shared-package-container
• Mutable Package Directories
  • Windows 11
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/manage/create-directory
• MSIX Persistent Identity
  • Windows 11 Insider Preview 22000
  • https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/package/persistent-identity

Shared Package Container is in the table with support listed for Windows 11 21H2, but the page for that feature only mentions Windows 10 Insider Preview. I am therefore unsure about whether or not these other preview features have yet finally made it into production!

It would be great to see these other features added to the support matrix, highlighting which features are still in preview.

It would also be nice to have a "What's new in MSIX" page listing these to help us keep track of the latest additions!
