    Windows 10 - Your Impressions

    Windos 10 released today to the people worldwide.

    What do you think about windows 10?


    My option is that its alot better then windows 8 as the system windows etc.. don't really take the full screen anymore and finally received a close button again.

    Multitasking looks very nice and it overall looks way more modern then windows 8.

    Microsoft Edge on the other hand i think its still slow...

    For me windows 10 feels as a extensions of windows 8.1 I have nothing bad to say about it. Although the activation of windows 10 was a little tricky for me , i had to wait 3 hours before i could activate it.

    Microsoft edge is in my opinion still below google chrome, but above internet explore, posting on forums is sometimes a little tricky, sometimes it randomly freezes for a sec of 2 (3 times in 3h). Although the web note thingy is kinda funny, it allows me to draw a dick on every page without having to use paint xD.

    EDIT: Let me know If someone is capable to disable->"Only secure content is displayed."

    Edge: I really like it but the lack of extension support is a deal killer for the moment. You can add shit to your hosts file but the fact is you will get "Could not reach http://addshitbullcrap.com" in place of ads which is even more annoying. And it fails to render a lot of my sites. I'm sticking with the Firefox fork Cyberfox for now.

    Cortana: It looks useful, I don't think I will make use of it though.

    On a whole: I like it. Though it has a lot of bugs and isn't as polished as Windows 7 was when it was released, it feels sort of rushed but updates will fix this.

    Microsoft is a very clever company :)

    windows xp - stable
    windows vista - shit
    windows 7 - stable
    windows 8/8.1 - shit
    windows 10 - your choice

    anyway most of the application that actually is working on windows 7 has issues running on 8.1 and 10 is based off 8.1 so I dont know what is happening.

    downloaded it and it works fine. Everything I used on Windows 8.1 works fine. Settings and such have carried over, overall I am happy :)

    I for one will be waiting for at least a week before upgrading...last thing I want is some horrible bug destroying all my data. I'll let all you "firsters" do my bug testing for me :)

    I did tested it, and if the final build is based on 1024 then there are some bugs unless this is a different build or something.

    Just a heads up...if you don't want to be bothered by the tool notifications, shut down GWX.exe in task manager and it stop the notifications. But it will come back next reboot unless you stop it from loading with msconfig.

    I've been using it for almost a month now, have to say didn't change much from the past week to todays release. Search is much faster however web-search freezes my PC, and apparently Cortana is not available anywhere except in English speaking countries for now. I'd say it's a perfect marriage between windows 7 and windows 8.1 preserving the looks of windows 7 and the performance of windows 8.1

    Microsoft Edge is fast for me, although it seems to hang for a couple of milliseconds on big pages or pages with lot's of flash content. Also there is no way to install an adblock in it, which makes my second best browser after Chrome. Once they add that, it might become even more speedier and better. However it certainly does start up faster than any other browsers so far.

    The new color changing algorithm is awesome, it can read colors from your wallpaper precisely and set the colors of windows accordingly. Too bad the content of the windows cannot be changed it will always stay white. Would be cool if we could switch windows colors to dark.

    the looks of windows 7? It's more relative to Windows 8.1 than anything
