So they made Windows 10 what Windows 8 should have been (I have no idea who made the decision to do that dumb metro thing. But it is a nightmare for anyone). And added things that existed in Linux since 1985?
This is the Microsoft way. Take Vista and Windows 7. With Vista they tried something new. In Windows 7 they fixed it. In 8 they tried something new... and the cycle continues.
Personally I don't mind the start menu being fullscreen. What really bugs me is how I have 2 incompatible desktops. I have my desktop which I have had since Windows 95. I then have some weird application space and jumping between the two is really unintuitive.
My bigger gripe is the name. Windows 10... It's PHP all over again.
Windows 7.
Windows 8.
Windows 9? No.. far to logical. Lets call it 10. Perhaps because it is 10 years since 95? I don't know. Still feels wrong.
PHP 6 was a real project, that a lot of people spent a lot of time working on (and writing books about). Just because the number was never used for a release doesn't mean it didn't exist.
95 -> 98 -> 2000 -> XP -> Vista -> 7 -> 8 -> 10
do you see anything logical in the entire progression.
I kind of get it what they were saying from 8 to 10 jump, that we are making a leap with this version over the previous one - because of the whole "universal" unification of devices of various form factors.
Unlike many people here, I do not know the "pulse of average people", so I really do not know how this will play out.
>> And added things that existed in Linux since 1985
I not sure if you are being snarky or something else but I am sure Linux was not there in 1985 and comparing Linux from 1995 to Windows 10 shows an absolute lack of understanding of Operating Systems.
