Was just curious how many had taken the plunge and were happy about it. I
don't have any experience with Windows 10, but from what I can gather, you
"just" have to get used to its new interface, the use of "apps" (which I
assume are nearly the same thing as what we used to call programs), the
forced MS updates, and that many of the older programs can't be successfully
imported. Oh, and that you can get a classic start menu without tiles. (I'm
not sure what the distinction is between apps and programs on Windows 10).
Is all that about correct?


"Apps" is short for "Applications Programs", as opposed to systems
programs and utilities.

Apps are what you use your computer FOR, as opposed to programs that
enable the keyboard to communicate with CPU, the screen to display
stuff, things to be written to the disk drives etc.
