I can't imagine wanting my clipboard "shared" ... I just can't.

I don't see any value in sharing a clipboard other than to people who can't
network between their own devices using their local LAN.

Other than that, it's another step forward for MSFT's premium OS
with a few more corners sanded smooth


I agree that there are a "few more corners sanded", but you'd think that
Windows 10 would have "something" super useful that people can't do on the
older Windows.

I don't see any compelling reason to move my laptop from 7 to 10.

and Edge improved even more.


The problem with Edge is the philosophy. And the competitions'
philosophies. There are plenty of browsers that serve peoples needs better,
where I think Edge tries to serve Microsoft's needs instead.

For example, where is the private mode or the ability at least to open the
browser in a mode that doesn't remember anything when the browser is closed
(which all other browsers have)?

What's not to like?


The lack of private browsing perhaps?
(If it's there, you can correct me where I can't fathom why it wouldn't be
there.)

I generally take the opportunity of new Win10 major releases to
clean install into a cleared partition (previously holding the
earlier Win version), getting rid of all the clutter accumulated
over six months. Obviously I take care to preserve key data
somewhere else first. New stuff like Swiftkey has got to be good!


I need that!

I don't have a mechanism for a "clean" reinstall of Windows without having
to also install all my programs again and again.

Is it even possible?
