As an app you have to launch and interact with, and there's usually a sound or alert that tells you a screenshot has been taken. With M$, it's doing this without input or notification.

    No? A program doesn't have to use the high level tools you have to for taking a screenshot, it can do so silently. I myself made a python script years ago that did this. Not even all user-facing functions have feedback for it neither, just press print screen
