Build 10049 -- Really fast and snappy --well done Ms
Hi there
My experience with build 10049 so far has been quite good -- easily the FASTEST windows OS I've ever used - possible exception was Windows 2003 server - but that was ages ago on long defunct hardware and I modified it a lot - whereas I'm using build 10049 straight Out of the box.
Not perfect yet but run this on an SSD and you will probably be amazed. Try W7 (also an excellent OS) on the SAME SSD note - not on a dual boot system use the same SSD with backup / restore images and although reasonable W7 seems really sluggish compared with the latest 10049 W10 build.
Still some minor annoyances -- like I hope we can select what updates to install - to avoid the Audio drivers fiasco with build 10041 and also the start menu still needs some sort of better user customisation possibilities.
However with this build I think Ms can consider this is a job well done. I'm getting much more confident that W10 final will be a really good OS.
BTW you get ONE DAYS extension with this build -- now expires on OCT 2 23.59 rather than OCT 1. !!!!
