The reintroduction of the start menu was an improvement on 8 despite the fact that it should've never been changed in the first place. The notifications and 'action centre' are a bit better too now and seem to work with a lot more applications.

My pc generally seems to boot up and process tasks quicker, not that my PC is slow anyway. Built it for gaming, not that I ever find anything worth playing

I would wait a while, there are still loads of bugs with windows 10 and some serious privacy issues.
proffrink
There are really very few issues with it right now - most were patched within two weeks of the release. As for the privacy stuff: Though I don't in any way endorse all the information they wanted to gather, it can all be turned off within a matter of seconds in the control panel (and indeed the setup).

I'm going to take the plunge and see what happens next week when the SSD turns up.
BBrotherwood
thankyou for the feedback!
cyrexx
"it can all be turned off within a matter of seconds in the control panel (and indeed the setup)" this is not 100% correct there are quite a few hidden settings that you still can't turn off, you need to edit the reg and change a few things in CMD.

If it bothered me that much I would buy a VPN or go and use Linux. Aside from the odd foray in private browser for urge relief I am up to nothing dodgy so I have nothing to worry about.

I've not heard about this cyrexx - where did you learn that?
cyrexx
I'm sad git and get off on cybersecurity, there are loads of articles about the security and privacy issues all over the webs.
This is a pretty concise video about what to change:

Windows 10 does a lot of data mining and being a free OS it of course adds some personalised adds (which you can disable). Cue mass hysteria over whether the NSA/GCHQ e.t.c gets the data illegally or whether personal info is sold onto third parties (illegally).

And I got ninja'd by cyrexx's post

Its in interesting topic from an international perspective. Although it is illegal for say US to monitor the traffic of its own citizens without reason, monitoring traffic from outside its borders into the country such as from UK, there is nothing stopping the NSA from mining the data. Who gets to then see this data is when the legal grey areas come into play.

I know about the privacy violations, Brotherwood - wanted the specifics on the Reg changes required. Thanks Cyrexx - I'll take a look!

Like hell does it run better than 8.1, drivers are still cack due to aforementioned time period between RTM and release. Tried installing it on a Surface Pro 3, and thats now on its way back to microsoft after it bricked it.
proffrink
To be fair, a bricked PC runs better than 8 did.
GiantKiwi
Have had 8.1 running flawlessly on 9 machines since its release, bias is coming into this a little, no?

...and that's why we can only be trusted to talk about toy guns.
