I doubt they will re-write the OS, so it should have been called 8 . 2 :rolleyes: Its called 10 because it is a significant overhaul . Windows 10 carries Windows forward into a new way of doing things . It is not an incremental change, but a new Windows that will empower the next billion users . Windows 10 brings EVERYTHING together, the foundation is the same, kernel, drivers etc . – from PCs to phones, to IoT (Internet of Things) devices . And the application platform is the same across all of these devices . One Windows means: •One Universal App Platform •One Security Model •One Management System •One Deployment Approach •One Familiar Experience	nmercer (3899)

(Most general users don't know the shortcut keys) In Windows there hasn't been a multi Desktops (by default) only Via third party software. Microsoft did release an XP utility called Virtual Desktop Manager Powertoy for Windows XP :)	nmercer (3899)

You don't see any value in having an account to do cloud backup, syncing storage, synching system settings across machines, SSID passwords etc?	nmercer (3899)

The other problem was setting up my old Brother HL1440 printer. Had to ask the setup to look in Windows Updates for the driver. It found it and installed OK. Downloaded Office 2013 to try but when I put in the 60 day key code it gave an error message and now I only have 30 days.. Overall it was a quick and painless setup. I suspect that Windows 10 will be the new Win XP or Win 7.. All hardware was recognized and works.. Edit. Now it's doing 2.5Gig of updates.. 2.5GB does not sound right at all The only update published for Windows 10 Preview is about 1Mb support.microsoft.com	nmercer (3899)

Just installed on my old PC and everything seems to be work fine, all hardware was recognised and works, too . Installation was a breeze . Loads faster than Win8 . 1 on this old PC - surprised . Looks it will be here to stay like XP and Win7 . MS shouldn't have released Win8 - it was a silly move .	bk T (215)

Loads faster than Win8.1 on this old PC - surprised. Looks it will be here to stay like XP and Win7. MS shouldn't have released Win8 - it was a silly move. its not a silly move to be running Windows 8 on a mobile PC with touch like a Tablet	nmercer (3899)

1385327	2014-10-04 00:55:00	Personally I dont log into the Cloud. I do log in BUT its to my own Servers. I do have Skydrive connected automatically which contains certain documents I use every day that get altered so they do get auto backuped. The other backups are done automatically to my own servers. As convenient as having things on the cloud can be its can also be a pain-- a few weeks back some businesses I know about use the cloud 100% for their work after changing from a local setup that has worked for years -- the internet went down (ISP Problem) they were stuffed couldn't do anything. Cloud storage for my server backup -- Not going to happen, 2TB of Data/Programs would cost $$$$$$$ where external drives are so much cheaper.	wainuitech (129)
