I downloaded the 10 Preview on a old laptop. Was great to see the start menu back. Can’t wait for next year when it’s released.
next year ? what month? windows 10 , what happened to windows 9?
Still don't see the appeal of this, since I could care less about it. I launch 95% of all my Win apps from shortcuts on the desktop, and rarely use the Start Menu. The chiclets on the Metro interface are much the same, and I don't have a problem with them (better shortcuts really).
My beef with Windows 8 is the lack of windows (isn't that the name of the OS?), particularly those incredibly horrible windowless new style "apps" that take up the whole screen w/o any window frame. They hearken back to DOS days, and are absolutely ridiculous when you have one or two large screen monitors on a desktop. And their hideousness is further compounded by the "swipe in" rules from the sides of the screen, which are just stupid on a desktop with a mouse and no touch screen.
