    Can't stand the setting app, or any of the touch oriented screens. This stuff does not belong on the desktop systems. It takes up to much space and is rather ugly. A desktop is NOT a tablet. I wish M$ would realize that and stop trying to combine them.
    I can use settings with my mouse and keyboard. And the are not done with the GUI for it. You are rushing to a judgment on something not finished yet.

    I personally can't stand the settings app, it just looks crap & everything is too big & chunky in it. Control panel was much much better.
    Same as above

    I think you will find the GUI for the settings app is pretty much final. No new features will be added to any new builds & will just be bugfixes if they really want to hit the 29th July release date. Personally I find there are too many concessions to touch just like there was in Windows 8x

    I see your point there mate. Maybe you should stay on W7.

    No problems mate. I use windows 8.1 pro x64 for over a year despite the fact I really hate the flat looking design & miss the aero look. I don't use any of the metro apps so most were removed. I will use windows 10 even though I hate the looks of it to keep my knowledge updated as I'm the one family members call in when they bork their PC's

    Being honest the main reason for me changing to it is for DX12.

    I don't care if it is Settings now or CP before - I find what I need to set and that's enough for me. Of course, some people will stay on Win 7 just for the CP and Aero, and that's up to them.

    Isn't Control Panel supposed to do everything we need?

    I understand the need to have a tablet oriented hub, but why also include that in deskop mode.

    Don't get it.
    Because the control panel may be going away. It may not be in the final release.

    Personally it doesn't matter to me. I guess that's the advantage of getting into the preview of this OS. You'll slowly learn how to go about configuring or tweaking your system outside the control panel. But I still use the control panel sometimes. It will be a complete surprise to first-time users of this OS. I just hope that God Mode will still work when 10 is in its final stage.

    And the nice thing with 10 is settings you use/change a lot, you can pin. for day to day use I only need update because I'm still on mobile broadband, but other than that, I have what I need in the system tray.:)
