Compared to linux or mac os, windows is a dinosaur. Linux and mac
os's have evolved in terms of user interface. Windows has stood
still.

There is no "Linux user interface", and what there is is no more usable
than Windows's.

by user interface I mean desktop environment.

Downloaded the iso last night and installed it in a virtual machine.

To anyone who uses Oracle, just opt for PAE , IHC9 chipset and Intel Pro
net card.

I used the 32 bit version and have only assigned one CPU core and 1.5
gigs of ram


Only have used it for a short time but it runs pretty well in the
virtual machine and the good news, the start button is back and so far
all seems intuitive just like all versions of Windows from Win95 and up

windows still have not learned their lesson. The start menu is a waste
of time.There is no customization for the start menu. There is no option
to enable the metro interface. or an option just to have a basic start
menu.

Right-click on the taskbar and choose properties. The navigation tab
lets you select Desktop or Start on boot\login for touchscreen systems.

The start tab on the same properties lets you decide if you want a
Start menu or Start Screen (Metro).

As for basic start menu, depends on what you mean by that. You can
right-click and unpin al the Metro\Live tiles form the Start menu
making it a "Basic Start menu".

If i am wrong on this please correct!

As for the installation. You can't finish the install unless you create
or have a windows account! As far as i am concerned this is another
mistake. You should be able to just install the dame thing and do what
you want with it. Which you can't.

You can finish install with a non-MS account, making a local account.

Thanks. still not going to use it.

The reason the LInux GUIs are more difficult is you've used
Windows for years not just hours. Or hour. It takes about a
month for a Windows users to "learn" Linux. Ditto for a Mac.

I've used Linux for decades.

Okay. Then you're experienced with Linux. I've used it as my primary
OS for 15 years. And "Windows" since before Windows was Windows, that
is, DOS. But back then my personal computers were the Commodore 64 and
Amiga.

So, tell me specifically why you find Windows GUI "easier" to use
than Linux's. I'm genuinely curious. I find neither more or less
difficult to use. Just different. Takes a few seconds to adjust
from one to the other.

I have a friend who finds Macs easiest to use. Says it's
"so natural." Complains Linux and Windows are "...too left brain" for
her.
