The Windows 10 Opinions Topic...

I'm enjoying using it thus far. Few bugs and issues though, my caps lock & num lock lights etc don't work. Which is a little annoying.

Anyone else using it?

I havn't add the opportunity to play with it, but I am looking forward to it. A lot of people like Windows 7 over Windows 8, but I prefer Windows 8 over Windows 7 and I don't even have a touch screen. I am actually glad there isn't a "Start Menu". I find myself always getting lost or spending more time looking for "Applications". I just click the "Windows" thing on my keyboard and start typing the name of the application or feature.

ex: Filez (brings up FileZilla)
ex; Control Panel

much faster then clicking the start menu and searching for those things.

Some people say "They cant remember the name of an application/program" so they have a hard time re-finding it. We'll, my thoughts on that is if you can't even remember the name of it, it must not be to good and should most likely be uninstalled anyway. =]

@Sim Win 10 still has that, but in a start bar, it's great.

I tried it when the preview first come out and didnt find it much different to windows 8 other than the obvious start menu changes.
I'm not sure if im a fan of the start menu. Would have much preferred if they changed it back to how it was.

[julian]

Definitely not a fan of Windows 8+, but Windows 10 is supposed to go back to some of the things that worked in 7... like a start menu? XD

I also like the fact that Windows X (Official Name, not actually 10) APP Store is going be shared with Win Phone market. So all apps/programs do not need 2 seperate versions.

Windows 10 is awesome. I'm trying it out on my laptop, and I love it. I haven't tried out multiple desktops yet, though I love that feature on Ubuntu.

@julian, indeed.

@Sim I've heard that the windows app store is full of crappy malware apps that masquerade as real applications.

Some are really obviously dodgy.

My only reaction to Windows 10 is http://nooooooooooooooo.com/

I have Windows related site so I tested and review Windows 10 regularly since it's first preview release
Overall I like it..I think it's a major improvement of Windows 8.x.

And about your caps lock & num lock problem, it's usually caused by incompatibility driver which mostly happen in pre-release OS

I like the come back of start menu and virtual desktop, however I think the cortana integration to desktop OS is something useless

[Sim]

Start menu is "optional" correct? You can enable/disable it.

[Scuzz]

@Sim The start menu is not optional. Well it wasnt the last time i checked.

[a_5mith]

@Scuzz yeah, right click > properties allows you to "go back" to the windows 8 start carousel. But it's disabled by default in favour of the start menu.

[Febian]

@Sim yes, you can disable it to bring the start screen back

Have downloaded the Consumer Preview. Still to test it. Wondering how easy would it be to uninstall.

I would have done Installed it, but don't feel like setting up a partition to play with it.

[julian]

What about a VM?

You'd need to wipe the drive to put Windows 7 back on.

@julian That was my biggest problem with Windows 8, I found it was just slowing me down. I installed Classic Shell (http://www.classicshell.net) and it works great. Looking forward to playing around with
Win 10 when I get the chance.
