Frankly if it looks like that as a Windows 7 Power user they can keep it. It is sucking more and more with every "release". Seriously Microsoft will have a hard time convincing users of Windows 7 from staying put on Windows 7. I have said it before but one OS for all devices is never going to work properly. It is compromise all around. They are selling Windows 10 with a talking gizmo and a start menu that is actually terrible compared to Classic Shell.
What we, desktop and laptop, computer power users want from Windows - Microsoft Community
What we want in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community
Like others have said (WHS has tutorials) Linux mint looks better and I can see myself and Tammy keeping Windows 7 till it dies then using 10 from a Windows 8.1 upgrade or simply using Linux Mint and disconnecting Windows from the internet.
I forget which tech website it was, but I read yesterday that the current build Microsoft is testing is 10039. Apparently the 10036 one had a bug in it.
I still only use it in a VM, 7 is still my day to day OS. I want to get to know 10 and to like it as I feel I'll have to claw myself from using 7 as my go to OS, hence me buying a dedicated HD for it, but while I like it on face value and I do want to get in on the ground floor I still find it has a way to go to beat 7.
Not with that Start Screen transparency it's not! Holy moly, and they said Windows 8 looked awful, 8.1 is lovely compared to this....I don't even know what to call it. It's just, no.
Definitely not liking the Start Screen being a giant Start menu in every literal sense of that term. The Start Screen from 8.1 should have been a carrying point of 10 versus a complete upheaval of it. That just looks incredibly distracting to CLEARLY be able to see your open windows that easily.
StarDock should start making a Decor10 app.
OMG. . .here we go again. Microsoft is again the big bad corp that has no idea what their doing. . .oh well I just keep using 10 TP on this old Dell as an everyday OS, and leave the Lonovo and iMac as is . . .that is with the OSs that they came with. . .
. . .bricking. . .Hmmmm!. . .Whatever. . .
Oh it bricks alright no doubt about it, I have one drive bricked and the other new one got locked up a few times, but it's now working. But I'm not complaining, well much anyway, I've had a pretty bad run with 10. I've got 9926 working again hopefully until the next update.
I certainly wont be going back to Windows 7 or Linux, I want to go forwards not backwards, I could go back to 8.1 but certainly not 7, I can't imagine running 7 on my Mac Mini, and I have a Surface and a HP Stream 8 so why fool around with an old OS except to run some old Progs.
Hi there
Don't like the Yellow / Greenish screenshots - but I'm sure the whole thing is customiseable. Didn't see how the start menu looks like either in WZOR's images.
Anyway looking forward to it -- maybe on St. Paddy's day (17 Mar) to test with a few glasses of Guinness. !!!
Cheers

I don't get this comment , if your in start menu looking for an app to use[that's the only reason I go to start menu ] , then you wouldn't need to see what's on the desktop ,until after you opened the app you went looking for ,or am I missing somethingThat just looks incredibly distracting to CLEARLY be able to see your open windows that easily.
Hate to admit it, but my original enthusiasm for testing Win10TP has practically faded to nothing with these delays in releasing the next build. Here we are nearly at mid-March and still no word on when the next build will be out. And the ones that do get leaked don't even have Spartan in them. All I basically do now is check the forums once a day to see if there is any word on the next build availability.
