[Always on Top] PowerToys VS WindowTop and what you should use :) #233

Closed gileli121 closed 2 years ago

gileli121 commented 2 years ago

A few months ago (A lot of time to fix all of their bugs... read to understand what I am talking about), Microsoft started to implement WindowTop main FREE feature into their broken product (You will soon see why while reading the comparison), and since it is not a fair game (Because a broken product can become successful because it uses the name "Microsoft"), this topic is must-have. People need to see how much they make a mistake by choosing PowerToys as a utility app for "Always on Top" just because it has the name "Microsoft" behind it or because few YouTubers are advertising their broken product for money or because they just Microsoft fanboys.

Please share this with anyone who needs to know. This feature is FREE so if anyone plans to use this feature, there is really no valid reason to use something that simply works so much worse
