[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 723378, member: 13739"] Yeah, been using it for 6 months or more. I like it, shaping up to be very nice. The preview version has been through some ups and downs along the way, but seems like it's starting to come together nicely now. As is always the case with windows it seems, it's what 8 should have been tbf. Some features are still lacking atm, and be prepared for a constant stream of updates which re-sets everything to a state like upgrading an OS from 7 to 8 (or similar). The one thing I don't really like are the icon style they've chosen to use. I'm a fan of simple and minimalism, but the icons in 10 with the axonometric projection are pretty ugly imo. Not sure the virtual desktop (task view) function is useful enough either. I used Dexpot for a while in uni when I was doing a lot of mutitasking (AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Photoshop etc.), and it was far more powerful with the ability of setting up different desktops for different programs, different wallpapers etc. I don't think MS need to offer something quite so complex, but I haven't used task view once yet in 10, as it's a bit too basic for me. Saying that, I spend very little time at my home pc anymore, and rarely multitask in the way I did in uni. Project Spartan is one of the biggest new features added recently to the preview builds. Looks promising, but still lacking in comparison to Chrome (my preferred browser). It lacks the ability to pull tabs in and out of a window, a feature I use all the time. It doesn't allow multiple pages to open on start-up, a feature I find useful. I also miss the ability to set a separate homepage. Plug in support is obviously lacking, but something which will likely improve quickly once it's officially released (I only use two, lastpass and ad blocker pro). I think it's sensible from MS to move away from the much hated (by some) IE, and it looks like they're on the right path with spartan at least. For anyone that's interested. Windows 7 and 8 users will be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 when it's released. Can't remember how long they're running the deal for (I have 6 months in my head), so I'd suggest everyone jumps at the chance, because unlike Windows 8 which really split opinions, windows 10 will feel familiar and comfortable for all, with the start menu back and the option of the full start screen.
