For those who think of Vista or Win 8 when they think of Windows are using an outdated model of thinking. Win 10 has its problems sure, <cough> <cough> Updates <cough> <cough>, but Win 10 is the best Windows ever, and its integration with Android is most definitely useful. I think they have a solid long-term strategy.

As one who uses Windows 10 daily at work ... I'm still sticking with Windows 7 as "best ever (of those versions still viable for modern software)" for my home use.

I use Win 10 at home and work. For me, it's much better at home as the version at work isn't as up-to-date.

Looks like their pattern of every other major version being generally despised is still holding, anyway.
Love XP; hate Vista; love 7; hate 8/8.1; love 10. Hate's up next! |

To be fair, though, apps like Maps, messaging, email, calendar are so intergrated that mixing and matching might break functionality |

I'll never buy another phone or portable device that I can't simply log in to Google to have my calendar, mail, contacts, notes and bookmarks set up in seconds. I'm fully invested.

I use Windows 10 daily at work. I refuse to use Windows 10 Spyware Edition at home. I still say Windows 2000 Professional is the best version of Windows. If Windows 2000 Professional was updated to a 64 bit edition with support for modern hardware, I'd still use it to this day.

Meh. Every SINGLE time Windows 10 updates my wife's laptop, she starts getting BSODs. UNTIL I disable the nVidia driver. (This is a laptop that has two video chips, Intel and nVidia.) When we first bought the computer it worked great, after the first major Windows 10 update, it has never worked right — unless I disable the nVidia driver (which isn't really working right). Windows 10 won't let me update to the newest nVidia driver for this chip ("not compatible with this computer model"). What I really don't like about Windows is my wife continually tells it NOT to update, but it does it anyhow — after so many times it just updates, regardless of her wishes. And it (the update) decides what should and shouldn't be enabled. So it's constant work-arounds to keep the thing running. I guess I'm used to Linux, which just works.
I should mention that the desktop (where I installed Windows 10 for my wife from scratch) works fine. One time it did something funky with Microsoft Office and WordPerfect during an update, and both had to be re-activated, but that's the worst it's done. The laptop is running on OEM version of Windows 10 software from HP. |

It's like giving your car to service, and when it comes back you notice the bass boxes are missing because they installed the in-house radio which doesn't have them... (The windows nVidia driver apparently doesn't haven openCL - which I need, for folding@home. Also, they managed to screw up the refresh rate - I was wondering why my eyes hurt...) |
