Windows 10 – First thoughts

July 31, 2015 By in Business Administration, IT Strategy, People, Science Tags: , , , , , , Leave a comment

Although I have a high speed internet connection, the Windows 10 installation took longer than I was expecting.

My first thoughts are that the user interface is more focused than Windows 9, where there was too much irrelevant material on the screen. Windows 10 knows what I like and what I use, so the apps. are more readily available.

There’s a brand new browser for Windows 10, called Microsoft Edge. The pitch is that it’s made for writing, reading and researching. I’m a serious fan of Google Chrome and it will take a lot for me to change browsers.

I’ll update further as I start to use Windows 10 day-to-day.

Thoughts?
