    Re: Windows 8 Is Entirely Unusable

    Now running windows 10 on this laptop. The problem with charms bar has gone, removed! The starting screen is now a combination of Windows 7 and Windows 8. Upgrade worked a treat. Really cannot fault it, no problems at all. This could be a winner for Microsoft.

        Plus they are dishing it out on all platforms including Xbox one. It's gonna be a massive universal os with cross platform apps.

              All my music is loaded to x box live app. I don't have an x box, yet everything is there and plays. Download from Microsoft as technical preview. 3.78 gig download. Burn it as an iso file, then install, simple.

                    The combination of Windows 7 and Linux Mint does everything I need it to do, so I'll stay on the sidelines and watch for a bit. I'll be very interested in the experience of the early adopters, though.

                    Windows Hate really did scare the excrement out of me.

                      I gotta admit I also find win7 pretty awesome and tbh if it means burning ISO etc I'll hold fire. In time ebay will have Dell master install disks for sale. Large Org's that update get a cd per machine so big firms have thousands. They go for around a tenner And it's the official dell windows install disk

                        I'm only going to try in a virtual machine. I've only just scraped Windows 8 off a PC, so not putting anything MS back on for real now.

                          Windows 10 technical preview has now trashed 3 new 500 gig hard drives. Can see them in Ubuntu, know that they are there but they will not spin up. Problem with latest build if you are using an old computer. Bios on new models will work. Mine won't. Tried hdparm to sort it out, but no. Currently running Ubuntu live cd to make use of laptop in dining room, will otherwise be sitting in cold office. Keep away fro 10 for time being!

                            Ouch. Wasn't planning to try it on a real box, and that certainly takes away any faint tempation I might have had to try it on something spare.

                              My Windows 8 updated to Windows 8.1 while I was asleep last night without my permission and I'm finding it even more user-friendly to those of us non-geeks.
