Cortana shows a shocking lack of functionality in places
Ongoing polish and improvements mean little is ever truly done
Some elements are less touch-friendly than in Windows 8.1. Browser lacks extensions. Skype and OneDrive integration could be improved. Less integration with mobile OS than Mac OS X. Some interface duplications remain
Confused settings menus
Upgrade download issues
Advertising and inapp purchases in previously free Windows games
App store has fewer and less feature-full apps than competing phone OSes
Not all older phone models are upgradeable
Tablet Mode changes aren't great
Cortana loses features
Not every bug is dead yet. Switching modes gets really confusing. Cortana's voice recognition is a mess. Windows really needs more apps
Weird software bugs
Microsoft Edge needs more work
Missing features in built-in apps
Bugs
Inconsistent
Cortana can't control 3rd party apps like in Windows Phone (yet)
Tablet mode may have a learning curve (but you don't have to use it)
Some older programs designed for desktop Windows don't work quite as well in Tablet mode
Many Universal apps are not
The Windows Store and Universal Apps still have to prove themselves. Windows 10 will only achieve greatness if Microsoft keeps updating it as promised. UI inconsistency is still something to consider.
No major changes beyond the traditional Windows desktop

Abstract: The loss of the Start menu in Windows 8 caused a lot of confusion among users and was often cited as the primary reason for not upgrading from Windows 7. It is hardly surprising, then, that Microsoft is positioning the Start Menu as one of Windows 10's b...

Touch-enabled user interface feels natural, brings back familiar start menu, relatively modest hardware requirements

Works brilliantly across devices, Slick and simple to use, Built-in apps are excellent, It's not Windows 8
Windows Store still needs more apps
Windows 10 is a relief. Yes, you can accuse it of some, er, similarities to other famous desktops. The Action Center isn't a million miles from Apple's Notification Center, and the multiple desktops have been alive and well in OS X for yonks. But we lik...

Abstract: The internal Microsoft codename for this latest build of Windows 10 was “Awesome”. With the HoloLens headset still locked inside Microsoft's labs and the Cortana voice assistant unable to understand British accents, this codename seems a little premature,...

Abstract: First Impressions: Windows 10 Technical Preview It's fair to say Windows 8 isn't the most popular incarnation of Windows there has ever been. Its removal of the Start Menu and embracing of a touchscreen-centric design was a bit of a kludge and left deskto...
