Living With Windows 10 - One Week on

05:05 0 Comments

One week has past (or there about) since I've installed Windows 10. I'm not going to try to write an introduction because there's no real point. I've installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview and now I'm giving it a test drive to see how it's changed from Windows 8.1 and older. - I guess that's pretty much an introduction after all.

 As you'll see in my original post, my start menu had a couple of apps installed. I think that there was; Facebook, Twitter and Netflix as well as a few inbuilt features such as weather and stocks. Well as the week has gone on I've altered my start menu to apps that I use.

 You'll see that I've purged my PC of the Apps, for one simple reason. They're TABLET apps. Which is fine and it's by no means the developer's to blame, after all they are 100% Tablet apps. But What Microsoft has again forgotten is that It is far more convenient and intuitive for me to use a browser, it gives me more options then the app (as you'd expect) and I can go from Facebook to Twitter easier (in my opinion) and then go on to Youtube, open new windows, have multiple pinned and so on. The amount and use of space on the Desktop optimised (normal, original, web) version of Facebook is far superior to the app (because of mice and keyboard). The app is made for TABLETS, not desktops. I have a touch screen PC and the app is no easier to use on it, it needs to be a handheld, smaller device ... Tablet! 
Well That turned into a bit of a Windows bashing but I honestly didn't intend that to happen. It is leaps and bounds ahead of XP and Vista. But Windows 7 ... at the moment the only change that doesn't irritate me is the start button (The menu is more useful then it is in 8/8.1 but not for me).

 I'll re-evaluate in a week or so. :)

Some say he’s half man half fish, others say he’s more of a seventy/thirty split. Either way he’s a fishy bastard.
