We like the speed. Earlier on in the gestation of the OS we were really concerned
Because while things like file copying and app switching seemed fast and flawless there were numerous other things that were poor
Like Search and a sluggish Start menu. It
Windows 10 performance continues to impress

The editors didn't like
Cortana doesn't always cooperate
Edge still needs work
If there's anything to dislike about Windows 10 it's that Microsoft remains too bullish about the success of Windows 10's Universal apps
It's by no means certain that developers are going to flock to Windows 10 from iOS and Android simply because they ca
There are still some features that should be clear winners for Windows 10 that Microsoft hasn't got quite right
And plenty of new developments that whet your appetite but are still works in progress. The OneDrive app is no replacement for integrating One
Updates effectively mandatory
Still a few kinks to be ironed out
Removes some apps during upgrade
Will developers get on board?
Costly if can't get it free
All change for Windows 8 users
Die
Hard Windows 8.1 users will miss some features
Four
Way Aero snap is still awkward and fiddly
It's unclear what upgrades will cost after the first year
No changes to OneDrive
Some minor bugs (Edge browser tabs timing out
Cortana not always understanding
Odd glitches)
Lack of extensions in Edge browser
Not easy to switch from Bing or default apps
Cortana needs improvement
Groove Music cant recognise audio drivers
Windows desktop still the same
Windows Store still needs more apps
Search is broken
Some features dependent on hardware drivers
Some enterprise features of little immediate practical use

Abstract: When I first upgraded to Windows 7 back in 2009, I was shocked. Microsoft had somehow recovered from the mediocrity of Windows Vista and built an operating system that felt like the natural progression from Windows XP. It was clean, it ran better and most...

Windows 10 is forming to be the most exciting release of Windows yet. It has a fresh new interface, the new features like Cortana, virtual desktops, and the new apps are definitely worth not just checking out but actually actively using them. The Continuu...
Abstract: When Windows 8 was launched back in 2012, I called it the ' hybrid OS ' because Microsoft built essentially two operating systems packaged into one bundle. The OS was a complete failure on nearly all fronts for the company and resulted in a change of lead...
The Start button is back, Cortana is smart and everywhere, High degree of utility, Free to all Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 users for the first year, New web browser
Design took a back seat to utility, Charms bar is gone

Fast startup. Rich software and device ecosystem. Familiar interface with Start menu. Action center provides non-ephemeral, interactive notifications. Automatic switching between touch and desktop modes. Lightweight Microsoft Office apps included. Better
Some elements are less touch-friendly than in Windows 8.1. Browser lacks extensions. Skype and OneDrive integration could be improved. Less integration with mobile OS than Mac OS X. Some interface duplications remain
Window 10 seems destined to win the hearts of all of those who were averse to Windows 8, bringing back familiarity and a bounty of new capabilities. This free upgrade is a no-brainer for most...

All of the great Windows 7 desktop interface features are back, All apps and programs behave the same way depending on if you're in desktop or tablet mode, If you're upgrading from Windows 7, you'll notice a huge speed boost, Universal Apps will be flexi
Cortana can't control 3rd party apps like in Windows Phone (yet), Tablet mode may have a learning curve (but you don't have to use it), Some older programs designed for desktop Windows don't work quite as well in Tablet mode, Many Universal apps are not
Some are saying that Windows 10 will be the last version of Windows. I don't really buy that though. Things need to grow and evolve. Really, Windows 10 will simply receive new updates (aka new versions) more frequently as part of Windows Update. We migh...
Brings together Microsoft's best desktop and touchscreen interfaces, Easy upgrade process, Cortana and Edge alone are worth upgrading, Changes to modern Windows apps finally makes them useful
No major changes beyond the traditional Windows desktop, Xbox One game streaming requires a robust network, Still not many worthwhile modern Windows apps yet
Windows 10 is the ideal next step for Microsoft, bringing together the best elements of Windows 7 and 8. With new features like Cortana and Edge, extensive desktop interface refinements and Microsoft's free upgrade offer, it's a must-have for anyone who...
