October 1, 201411 yr Windows 10? How many versions do Microsoft want? They haven't even released "9" yet! Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
October 1, 201411 yr They haven't even released "9" yet! If you read that BBC link, you will note that they are by-passing it. PR recovery maybe? Rick Almeida

October 1, 201411 yr Commercial Member I've set up a virtual machine using Hyper-V until I make a decision on whether or not it's worth setting up a dual boot yet. So far, I'm leaning towards yes, partially because it feels slow and laggy running in a VM. Otherwise, it's quite nice. I've organized my shortcuts like I'd have them on a typical install on the right. On the left are commonly used programs, which in this case, I've randomly opened to fill up the list (it's supposed to show desktop programs as well, but upon clearing the list, I seem to have hit a bug: it won't do that any more). It even synced my desktop background from Windows 8 since it's tied to your Microsoft account. Brandon Filer
October 2, 201411 yr They should rename it Windows Lipstick ... Pastely-ish art deco, via Miami Vice. And lifeless generic icons flat as a pancake....... :-/ I'm still trying to like the flat icons on my Ipad...... :-( Icon and color replacement packs will become very popular with this. Unless MS blocks them. More power to anyone who likes it, though! We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

Gonna do this too instead of Dual Booting(my main HDD doesnt have enough space to do a dual boot and my secondary one is GPT.) Brian Evans
October 2, 201411 yr Commercial Member I'm downloading right now win10 and will try it today in the free vmware player: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso https://my.vmware.com/de/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0 If accelerated 3D works, like they claim, this will save me hd space as I don't need to fully install it anymore but fire it up from Ubuntu. Same for OSX later, if all goes well. Those tiles in win8.1 are unusable for me because they slow my workflow.

October 2, 201411 yr Commercial Member Pressing a button is slower than pressing a button? I've disabled immediately those tiles in 8.1 and so far in 10 it seems to need at least two clicks. One for closing as it takes all screen as far as I can tell for now. Anyone knows how to get accelerated 3D in vmware player? Install Nvidia driver? As for now it seems the same as virtualbox, not usable for flightsims?
October 2, 201411 yr Windows 10? How many versions do Microsoft want? They haven't even released "9" yet! It's just like the "Friday the 13th" series of horror movies. As long as people are willing to pay to watch them, the more they will make.
