40. Microsoft has finally released the successor of Windows 8 and it’s
called Windows 10. The new operating system by Microsoft promises
to iron out all the flaws that made users loathe Windows 8. We
decided to take Windows 10 for a spin to see if it is anything that it
promises to be and I must admit, it was quite impressive.
Whatever your feelings are about Microsoft and the
ubiquitous Windows OS, it’s clear that they listened to their users
when building Windows 10. There’s a return to focusing on the user
experience at all levels, rather than the Start screen that turned so
many power users off of Windows 8. The classic layout, return of the
Start menu, and other features provide an experience that feels
much more familiar to users of Windows 7 and XP. Windows 10 will
please everyone, from the most basic computer users, to the biggest
enthusiasts, and everyone in between.
