I asked it to find a web page by name in another drive. I might as well have asked it to find the square root of Pi! I ran searching and then disappeared.
Having a good-looking software store is pretty critical. And that's something still lacking in non-Android Linux-based systems right now. Even Ubuntu could use some serious improvements in its software store experience.
Wrong. Having a store is not even necessary for Windows, as everything you need is available, mostly for free, by just searching for it and using reputable sources. Easier and much more variety than Linux. I am still waiting for a real equivalent to AutoHotKey for Xubuntu that i use on a laptop.
In Windows 10, the Start Menu is back kind of. There's no more full screen of animated tiles (Windows users dodged a bullet, there). But what Windows 10 has now isn't all that much better. Other than the fact that it's not, technically, full screen.
You can make it full screen by hitting the r. top arrow. But it is still too set up like for a kindergarten. Classic Shell is still an improvement even without the (don't call it) Metro UI.
Below is the difference btwn the default WTP start menu and classic shell. Which would you prefer? (You can nuke items in either one.)

What Windows needs to do is to make the OS more customizable like Firefox. Linux is actually more so as regards window and desktop personalization, as W/8/10 offers less than W/9x/XP.
The Right Click Context Menu Extender should be standard. Also a clock like T-Clock , which shows seconds (which MS has yet to think was a worthy option after 15 years) and other options.

Here is a neat tweak to add things to the Windows key and X shortcut (which itself is a plus for Win/8/10):
He said there were no categories in the Win 10 start menu or something.
With windows 10 I will nuke all tiles tied in with the start button. I have to believe this is an option. I despise these tiles/apps whatever they are are. They are good for touch screen tablets and fones but get in my way for desktops and laptops.
If getting back to a windows 7 type start button is not an option then Microsoft is dumb and damned.
In this case I will use Start 8 or other third party program to restore the normal start button same as I presently do on Windows 8. Start 8 is what I like and use NOT classic shell.

On the taskbar I use quick launch and the pinning feature for quick access to programs. The good news is that quick launch is still there for Windows 10 and undoubtedly you will also still be able to pin programs to the taskbar.
I always put my taskbar on auto hide for more screen real estate
