It is indeed out!





Or did you mean what it's like? It's good - although they're starting to move some of the control panel stuff into the metro apps, but these aren't full screen, so it's not ALLLLL bad. Solid OS for an alpha/beta..

Yeah, I mean actual hands-on stuff.
You know, from user's (and maybe gamer's perspective).
We bitch a lot about WinDOS, so I wonder how much of that bitching was already mitigated in the new Windows 10 build.

what do you mean its not all bad.. everything about metro is fking shit from its piss poor square shit graphics and most of its fking crap apps.

Windows 10 as a OS doesn't even get fking basic shit done right anymore. Need a calculator with an icon on the deskstop/taskbar etc download a better one. Microphone recorder? (I haven't seen winshite 10 version, but last time I checked Win8 came with what can only described with the most fking dumbed fking garbage for a basic microphone recorder, it was if i remember a large fking icon in the middle of the screen, with fuck all options not even a timeline, I can only think MS got some fking intern to make it. How is that fking progress when Win95 came with better fucking built in basic applications to use on the OS. Win8/10 just comes with shit I'd rather just uninstall.

Sorry but fuck these morons who say win10 is alright you dumbed down fking lemmings.

Everything about the OS control panel and customizability of the OS is a fking joke and a mess, it looks like fking shit for idiots who need large spaced out fonts with fuck all options in between.

Win10 is just Microsucks answer to pushing more infestering cloud metro shit, with its dumbed down tablet interfaces with fuck all options.

Where the fuck is the actual improvements for the desktop OS?!?!? even Explorer? Its file system where are the real improvements to anything here.. DX shitting 12 that cannot possibly be added to past OS for $$$$ reasons is about the only fking improvement worth considering, and thats tied to games actually even utilizing it.

If you have show hidden files enabled in explorer does the desktop.ini file show on the desktop.. yes ...MS you lazy fucks.

They aint done shit all worth upgrading from Win7.. it might be a OS worth upgrading to from Metroshit 8, but i'll stick with Win7 where the OS control panel and startmenu still has resemblance to being made for desktop with actual fucking consistency to Aero UI design.

So don't use it! I've used Win8 since it was out and have never used a Metro app. Simple as..

Come on Koogle, get your facts right - that only shows if you show protected system files, not show hidden files.

I agree they need to progress the filesystem though. The only real improvement they've added is background filesystem checks - no more pauses on boot while it runs checks.

In 10, they've added Cortana, multiple desktops, notifications look much better, among others and they've not even finished yet!
Win 8, there was window snapping, it used less resources than 7, the lock screen has more info on it, the ribbon in Explorer actually makes it quicker to do certain jobs, new task manager is REALLY nice, it boots and shuts down quicker, USB3 is built in and file transfers actually give you options when stuff exists/can't be changed/etc.

Before you post, just take a deep breath...

Hehe Very Happy

I'm not Windows nor Microsoft fan Smile But I must admit that Windows 8.1 with StartIsBack runs better than Windows 7 SP1. (better memory management, etc..simply they have beter kernel). Metro is crap, but it's easy to ignore it Smile

Based on what I have seen, I think Windows 10 is going to be a major success - more so than even Windows 7. Really appreciate the interface changes (Continuum), multiple desktops, Spartan, Cortana...Simply, Windows 10 looks promising for old-school PC users. You know, like gamers with desktop PC.

Of course, I share the skepticism of all the people questioning Windows 10 also. What's with the free upgrade? Why all of a sudden? I need to know a lot more before I upgrade!!

I've been using the win10 preview for a few months now. It's got a few stability issues, but it's not a whole lot different from win7 other than they moved a bunch of things around, kinda like how they do with each version of Office they release.

The 2 main things I've noticed with the latest build is Cortana and an enhanced notifications center.

Cortana replaces the search/run menu and seems similar to Spotlight on the Mac.
The notification center is on the taskbar, and holds app notifications, similar to what you see on smartphones.

Stability-wise, since the latest build, my audio driver occasionally crashes and needs a restart.
If a fullscreen game crashes (for example, New Vegas), you can not view your desktop until the process is killed. You can bring up task manager, but can not see the program to kill the process, so you either have to log out or create a shortcut to kill the process in advance.

So far, maybe about 10% of programs don't work, but that's kinda expected.

To be honest I find it annoying to be recommended to "ignore" Metro, considering it is the major "progress" and "investment" done to the OS in the last 5 years.
If I am to ignore Metro, Win7 is just fine! Even officially the performance boost in Win8 is 10% tops! Simply not worth it. It is that simple.
