I remember going from 3.11 to W95 and thinking it was a giant leap for mankind, backwards! but hey I got used to it. Since then 98/Vista/2000/NT/XP/7 have all been pretty well the same in look and feel. Obviously huge changes have taken place behind the scenes But by far the worst innovation from Microsoft was the truly appllling windows 8. I have windows 7 and I have refued to by a new PC because of W8! Anyway anyone any idea whether W10 will take on board the fact that W8 was pretty well universally hated by those in IT?

One has to tinker in order to put folk's purchases on the road to obsolescence and force them to buy anew even though there was nothing much wrong with what they had.
Each time the owners are blamed for disliking change when what they really dislike is unnecessary change that makes things worse for them. Typical deflection of responsibility onto others.
As for W10, who, save those in the know in MS, would know ? They're still dominant, they don't need to pay heed to others if they don't wish to.

I am a Mac convert but have got a couple of art/craft programs that won't run on Parallels so I lashed out on a windows notebook to run them on. First thing i did was set w8 up to run as near to previous windows versions as I could. Any OS where you have to fool around logging in and there isn't an obvious one step shut down has to be a loser and I am amazed that windows didn't realise this.

a quick search on google and you would have found out how to get round both those issues.
Win 8/8.1 can be made to operate just like win 7 , it can be made to boot straight to your "normal" desktop if thats what you need.
Win 10 will have the traditional "start" button and the menu will combine its features with the win 8 features, and its totally customisable.
MS have realised that the desktop and touch environments should have been far more clearly seperated from one another and W10 fixes that.
I have been using the W10 developers release and its much easier to use it like Win 7 if thats what you want.
I dont have a touch screen for most of what i do, its impractical so use it like win 7 and its working fine so far.

I have no problems with W8 on my desktop pc. I find it faster than any other version of Windows and easy to use.
People just don't like change, which is why every other version of Windows is hated. People get used to one OS and hate the new one, so when the third in the sequence is released it is welcomed with relief because it 'can't be as bad as the last one'.
