It's Windows. I am not a fan of the busy menus and the highly graphical look. OToH, I did quite like Windows 7. I thought everything they did with that OS was a move in the right direction. |

No, I only use windows to update my Sat Nav maps otherwise I've been using Linux for the last 7+ years. |

No particular angst, it is the OS, it does its job. After having it for a year and a halfish, it is what I use to do the stuff I want to look at, which is what I expect all operating systems to be like… I don't pick an OS for what I see, I pick one that lets me do what I want/need to do. Linux? Nah. MacOS? Heck nah. |

better than Windows 8 which was awful. Unfortunately it does have some issues with profiles that can cause the need for a rebuild. Win 7 much better, as is the Mac OS. |

While I agree with most of what's been said, I was talking specifically about, when idled, the lovely postcard images, and the question asked. I actually admit they're quite lovely, but each is Micro$oft's choice, some outright links to advertisement, most links to that unpleasant Edge and repugnant Bing. In other words, everything is M$'s choice, none of mine, and I'm not a fan of that. I always click 'Not a fan' until M$ gives up. However, Sergeant, I will respond with 'I used to do more, quicker, with 7.' Doug |

We use mainly Ubuntu Linux at home. The kids don't know any different. Minor problems when my wife has to do work for school but then her school gives her a laptop…which runs windows. |

you can turn off all those postcards (tiles) – I do on my Win 10 machine at work. Also, whilst Edge and Bing are crap, it's easy enough to install chrome. |

Not its "SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED" NETIO.SYS error, from which it never seems to get around to restarting by itself… |

if got window 10, best to install a third party piece of software that blocks the data win10 send back to redmond. there is a fairly simple way of using MS powershell to remove some of the other garage pre-installed by MS. |
unpacks and sets up an inexpensive 3D printer, and prints a test object.
