Its going backwards tho....... if it was a improvement, no one would complain, but it isn't. We are going back in time.
Yep indeed.Complaining appears to be human nature. We should have all just been dumb animals rather than something where we think. It's much more complicated.
That was a waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better post before your ninja edit. Less is more, dear boy. Less is more.
Oh, for God's sake....
It's not even ******* finished yet! Why not wait until it's actually released before claiming the UI is worse than on 7. And, lest we forget, temper any criticism with the small matter of it a) not being compulsory to upgrade and b) being FREE!
It's all relative since what is worst for one person is better for another,middle ground has to be found and this is what Microsoft is working on.
I still believe UI on 8 and 10 is not an issue.
Also remember Microsoft are now on an all/complete OS so the OS needs to adjust to all possible hardware needs.
The old only PC desktop OS is a thing of the past.
How many preview builds have there been of Win10,it's not anywhere near RTM,you know Microsoft are going to do more changes on Win10(both good and bad) so we just have to wait and see what RTM looks like ,again what is bad for one person is good for another.
Having said all that do I prefer the earlier builds of Win10 Start Menu,but I can wait and see how it pans out in RTM build and probably adjust to it,if not you'll probably get the option of a third party one if you can't live with the default Win10 Start Menu.
I never thought Win7 Start Menu was great to be honest,seen much better ones on Linux,again what is good for one person is bad for another.
Btw as to complaining that happens all the time, I remember XP via 2K arguments and even before then,every time a new OS comes they don't like this or that,comes with the territory which in many ways is sad.
We NEED less moaning and more constructive feedback.

Microsoft should work a bit harder then, if they want to focus there OS to other areas and not mainly for the god saken tablet/ phone user. Then we would all be happy
It just amazes me that ppl are blinkered with whats going on under the hood and dont really care for the day to day use of windows, how it perfoms and looks... why are ppl focusing so much on what you cant see, FFS
To be fair for example Win7 was built on Win95 over the decades ,about fifteen years and that is just making a simple PC desktop only OS.
Microsoft only just started an all/complete OS with Win8 so give them time,remember it's more complicated then just doing another rehash of Win7 PC desktop only OS.
Come back in fifteen years and see how far they have got.
Problem is you are still looking at it as PC desktop only user,I'm looking at it as an OS for all types of users and hardware ,even though I'm only a PC desktop user myself,yes I may be more open minded but with new hardware and technology you have to be that way.

The mouse wheel no longer works in explorer or the start menu without focus. That extra click before you can use the scroll wheel is annoying.
You know what to do,send them feedback,again preview builds will have bugs/issues,you are an unpaid alpha/beta tester

For every bit of software that I have used I have constantly sent feedback so I do my part weather or not the changes get implimented for better for worse.
Yep indeed.
I rather see less complaining and more constructive feedback especially to Microsoft,having said all that every user/person has different needs and ideas on what is good or bad,so for Microsoft they are in tight spot ie no win win situation.
All they can really do is go for the middle ground and hope it's enough,for me it's not an issue since I've used so many Operating System since Commodore 64 days to Linux.
Looking back to the old days Microsoft OS has come a long way from DOS days,games are install and play unlike back then rearranging memory just to get the right expanded/upper memory for the game,IRQ and jumper switches etc...
Personally think it's good times ahead IMHO.
Only one thing scares me,Microsoft please stay away from sub based OS,that's the worst thing you can do.

OMG this is just getting stupid now
Just because you think its going back in time and looking worse than older versions of windows doesn`t mean everybody does, some people are actually more bothered about what something can do beyond the looks. You are so contarary in what you are posting as in 1 post you say you are gonna try it again then in the next 20 posts doing nothing than moaning about the most pointless things when its just a early preview.
Your constant moaning and complaing is really annoying me try to remember :1: no one is forcing to upgrade/try preview builds 2: ITS FREE SO WHY MOAN
Its like having a nice new car with rubbish interior, yeah it might be fast and everything else, but if it's got a clunky gearbox and a rubbish interior, the driving experience wont be great. Thats the same for windows in my opinion, but people dont seem to mind about that.

Finally got my test rig up and running the latest preview build and I am really liking what I am seeing for the most part. I love that you can now remove the search from the taskbar and the task view thing too.
The main thing I don't like is one small thing in the Start Menu, the way that it is split up using a large letter for A, B, C etc like a phone does for contacts. I want that gone and just leave it how it was and it would be almost perfect I think.

So is that why you picked a big chunky Volvo then? As far as I know no Volvo has ever been known for their looks(the one you had definatley not) but they have many other qualities just not their looks. As I said you are so condictary its laughable.
Car analogy is terrible, a lot of users like Win8/10 yes I'm one of them,Win7 was ok but nothing special,I can say that because I've used every OS since DOS days,it's fast and very stable.
I can use it just fine with mouse and keyboard so don't see why you bring up the car analogy.
Win10 I'm holding my final opinion on because it's a preview build but as I stated earlier I did like the earlier Win10 preview build with Start Menu,again RTM will probably be different so not fair for me to fully judge it at this time.
You don't really say what you don't like about 10(I know you don't like Start Menu but that is ongoing/changing),again remember preview builds are not final.
Having said all that I'll be upgrading to Win10 final (free upgrade is hard to pass up on,especially as a PC gamer ).

Elevon this is the most sensible post I have seen in the last few pages of this thread and sums up how I feel about win 10 perfectly. Why can`t some people accept that others actually like the way the new windows look feel and perform even going as far as to say ffs because people say they don't mind certain things.
Also in one of the other persons posts he says refrencing windows and cars that in his opinion this and that , then he ends it with none cares about that. Why should we care if we don't agree, are you some sort of messiah or something where us puny earth people must agree?
Just pathetic of some people

I just dont understand why ppl are taking more if a interest with the workings of windows then the user experience,, it should all come in the parcel so to speak. I doubt very much windows 10 will look much different, then what it does now when they release it, because windows 8 didnt look much different between preview and final builds.

Yes we got what you think (about 50 posts ago)and we don't actually care what you do as far as windows 10 goes. We will all do as we wish and we don't appreciate being sworn at because we have a difference of opinion. Now seeing as you seem determined to ruin this thread with constant moaning/telling people what you think they should do I am leaving this thread because you wont seem too.
