Remember now, folks, you need to read Orlowski reviews with the knowledge that he’s got his tongue firmly planted in his cheek. No point getting cranky over his wording. :-)

And yes, this thread is mostly of interest to the FReepers who are trying out the “Technical Preview” releases. But I daresay even less technical people might be interested in the review, if they’re thinking of upgrading to Windows 10 when it becomes available.

This is actually a pretty good, in-depth review -- it runs 7 long pages with lots of photos and data. Orlowski has an ascerbic, sarcastic writing style, but he's usually on the mark technically. Not sure if I'd really consider this an "in-depth" review of the OS as much as just the UI, and the author and I seem to have rather different ideas about what constitutes "doing real work".
But interesting, nonetheless.

Why does Microsoft require me to learn new behaviors when they decide to upgrade their operating systems. Honda doesn’t make me learn how to drive differently when I buy a new car.

I think he’s bitching for the sake of bitching. I’ve been using “Windows 10” ONLY since November, on my home computer.
I have no complaints at this point. The driver issues I had early on have been resolved.
So the UI is different from Win7.
BFD.
I have a start menu in the lower left corner of each display. I can find stuff in it.
The Windows administrative stuff is better organized than ever.
All my applications and tools work.
What’s the problem?

I’m signed up for the free Win10 upgrade.
I will make a backup image of my current Win7 system and dual-boot Win7 and Win10.
It just seems safer that way.

I’ve been told I will be receiving a free copy of Win10 - and I’ll be TOLD when to download it.
I’m not sure I like that .. and I’m still upset about losing XP - which was my favorite.
So, later today I will read through this and let everybody know what I think.

Using Windows 10 in its current state is a bit like getting a whiff of a really outstanding restaurant and being told that, for now, you have to settle for a motorway service station pasty. Wow. That just doesn't sound pleasant at all.
