Reading some forum post of someone trying to recover deleted partitions because an acquaintance accidentally deleted the wrong partition during a windows install.

This reminded me that I really find it odd that the Windows installer partitioner doesn't log all pending changes and asks you to confirm them, but instead every partition change has to actually happen one at a time with a pretty quick to dismiss warning between each change.

Like every Linux installer had gotten this right, why not Windows?

@jeder they did overhaul the ui in 25h2, but I guess that the underlying functionality isn't all that different

@mikoto considering it's like NT 6.9 internally, probably yes
