Thanks charliec I'm evaluating Win10 and believe it will be well received. If you want the Win8 "tiles" you can get them, but if you prefer a classic GUI similar to Win7, it's there by default. Since Win7 is still supported I don't see any real reason to upgrade. Thanks for the reply. I'm a Win7 User, not Win8, so was looking more for comparison to Win7. I read earlier that MS decided to retain the Win7 GUI in Win10, which is great! But, was wondering what advancements were being offered to prompt Win7 users to moved when Win10 is released. But, again, thanks for your reply. They didn't retain the Win7 gui as much as they are offering the Win10 Start screen in a more compressed "Win7 Start menu like" format. It's still the new Start screen, just compressed to a menu format anchored to the location of the Start button. All the new code. |

Not in any usable form - you still need Classic Shell or similar. Since Win7 is still supported I don't see any real reason to upgrade. Now there we agree wholeheartedly. I don't have a phone or a spare tablet to test it on - (and it could be quite good on a touch screen device) but Windows 10 has no advantages over Windows 7 whatever on a desktop or laptop, and quite a few disadvantages. Let's just hope the final version has some big changes. There are quite big internal changes that may or may not make any real difference in practice. For instance in Win10 you can now do a chkdsk /f type operation without dismounting the drive! -- Brian Gregory (in the UK). To email me please remove all the letter vee from my email address. |
