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

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: Windows 8 was deemed Microsoft's most radical development of the popular operating system since Windows 95. Its metro interface was supposed to transcend the changes occurring in the computer market with the continual popularity of mobile platforms. It wa...

Abstract: Windows 8 is widely available right now. If you buy a new PC or laptop it will almost certainly come with Windows 8 (actually Windows 8.1 these days). As an end user you will not know the cost of Windows 8 to your PC's manufacturer, but if you pay for an ...
So, that's the Windows 10 Technical Preview. In many ways, this new operating system seems more like a return to the drawing board than an incremental upgrade over Windows 8.1. Perhaps that explains the choice of version number better than other theories...
Microsoft has received a lot of heat since it released Windows 8 in 2012, and most of it was well deserved. While I personally have learned to adapt my workflow and find Windows 8 (especially after the changes made in 8.1), to be at its core a great oper...

The Windows 10 Technical Preview is most definitely a very early release, and it's still hard to judge exactly what shape the final product will take. As alpha releases go -- and the Technical Preview is very much an alpha -- it's stable and familiar.I've...

It is clearly much too early to give a verdict on Windows 10. We applaud Microsoft's commitment to user-driven testing of Windows 10, and are excited about the possibility of fixing some of the problems with Windows 8 - particularly on the Desktop. We are...
Abstract: Lisa Gade walks through the features and new look of Windows 10. We use the final version that Microsoft made available early to Windows Insider testers, which will be available to all on July 29, 2015. Windows 10 is free if your computer or tablet is run...
Abstract: Our review of Microsoft's Windows 10 20H1 update—also known as version 2004, or perhaps the Windows 10 April 2020 Update—shows an OS focused primarily on building out existing features, rather than launching new ones. Some scaffolding is still apparent in...
Start menu is functionally excellent, Action Center features are handy, Settings app is finally a Control Panel replacement, Universal apps are higher quality
Will devs embrace Universal apps?, Some Windows 8.1 features may be missed, Expensive without free upgrade
Feature-wise, Windows 10 is the new Windows 7. It's robust, pleasant to use and – perhaps best of all – free...
