What are you talking about? You just right-click -> mount on an iso in Windows, no 3rd party tools required.

I can do all of those commands on Windows 10 using GOW. Cry more grapefox.

You actually could do that since Vista.

You can in powershell, infact that entire sequence of commands works in powershell.

Not quite good enough. Win+Arrow allows you to tile two windows side by side, but it won't do more than that.

Surprisingly a "cruft on top" problem. NTFS is POSIX compliant.

"As part of the requirements for POSIX compliance, the Windows NT File System (NTFS) provides a case-sensitive file and directory naming convention. Even though NTFS and the POSIX subsystem each handle case-sensitivity well, 16-bit Windows-based, MS-DOS-based, OS/2-based, and Win32-based applications do not."
