Windows 10
10 years ago
Just because I see people ranting on about the new Windows release I just want to post my oppinion on the topic aswell.
First of all, I've tested the OS since I was made aware of the public test version that was available through the "Windows Insider" programm. So to every "bug" everyone is complaining about, I've been through far worse and still consider this OS a better one compared to all its predecessors.
Now for some problems I've read that people encountered:
1) Having to shift rightclick to unpin stuff from the taskbar.
I've never had to do this, regular rightclick works just fine for me, I dont know why this happens to you guys, but it doesn't to me.
2) Pinning stuff to the start menu.
Works just as fine as in Win 8, I see no problem there either.
3) Getting rid of the cortana searchbar.
This one is less of a Problem but rather a "but why though" cortana actually is the best working personal assistant out there and works like a charm and with a very low system load usage. I really enjoy it being there, the only thing thats a problem of the voice recognition software rather then the assistant is that she sometimes on some of my devices activates randomly from music playback on my device's speakers.
4) The new start menu.
People are still going on about wanting to change that one back to the Win7 design, which I can't really see behind why they would want to do this. I mean really, I prefer a smaller start menu over the giant clusterf**k mine was back then when I used win7 and accidently hovered the "All Programms" menu entry, I had loads of empty folders in that menu and it was covering literaly half my screen.
So thats that,
The last thing I want to point out is mostly for the gamers out there, DirectX 12, you will not immediatelly benefit of it being around, thats not because its buggy or something, it is because your games are not built on top of DX12, but if you switch to Win10 you will, nonetheless have an improvement in stabilits and performance, which is just because the Win10 OS core is much more lightwheight and produces less bulls**t on your processor.
The OS is alot better then both Win7 which was already outdated performance wise when win8 hit the market, and win8 because win10 fixes some little issues that sparked with win8's new features like the metro interface and the new kernel.
Thats all folks, Aetheros out!

Really nice to see something like this. Far more helpful then the complaining.
Maybe I should update to 10...
If you have any issues with your windows 10 install, it might be a problem thats actually caused by doing an upgrade from an older windows version that keeps parts of your old system installed. For instance these issues with shift-rightclicking might have originated from a leftover installation of a shell mod to make the win8 start menu look like the win7 one. Most of these kinds of software mess up some core components of windows and as windows 10, if you choose to keep data, does not delete the old data, you might end up with some of these modified files on your system, messing up windows 10 because of incompatibility.
Guess i should updata then
