14 DAY TRIAL // Even though Windows 10 is still in development phase and it's pretty much obvious that a lot is going to change until the operating system hits the market, many users are already complaining about the features that Microsoft implemented in the Technical Preview.
The company's Community forums are full of negative comments towards Windows 10, and many believe that, despite all improvements that have already been included in these testing builds, the new OS will do no good to the PC industry.
In a thread entitled “The End of the PC,” users debate the improvements made to Windows 10 and the way the operating system could influence new PC sales, especially because Microsoft itself expects the upcoming release to have a strong impact on new devices.
In general, users complain that Windows 10 still can't be configured in a way that would bring back the familiar Windows 7 desktop, despite all improvements, and the presence of live tiles is living proof that no matter how hard you try, the modern touch of Windows 8 will still be there.
“Just a conspiracy to replace PCs”
It's no surprise that users think of conspiracies without spending too much time analyzing facts and improvements, and the first post in the aforementioned thread, which now counts 16 pages, accuses the company of trying to move the world from the traditional PC to the tablet and other touch-capable devices.
“If windows doesn't give us the option of NOT having tiles/apps/metro/store/etc in totality, then we'll have to go with a different platform. probably some *nix where we can be sure all traffic/usage is as it should be. We've begun to speculate there is a conspiracy to replace PCs with the marketing depts. favourite toy - the table,” one user says.
“Stop this nonsense. Why not give us a good reliable OS that can be 'skinned' to its primary use?”
Microsoft wants to restore full Windows 7 functionality
When Microsoft presented Windows 10 for the very first time in late October, the company said that it tried to bring back the functionality of the Windows 7 desktop, restoring the Start menu and implementing new options that would make it easier for enterprises and other users to get stuff done on a PC.
Many of the improvements that are currently part of Windows 10 Technical Preview are here to make it easier for us to work with a mouse and keyboard, but there's no doubt that enhancements for touch-capable devices will also be implemented.
Before anything, keep in mind that Windows 10 is still in development right now and a lot could change until the final product sees daylight, so it's not such a good idea to start criticizing the company for such an early version of the OS.
