The editors didn't like

  • Design took a back seat to utility
  • Charms bar is gone

  • Occasional hangs after continued use
  • There's still just one digital assistant on the lock screen
  • Cortana
  • Start menu redesign is blah
  • Some computers have driver issues
  • Web results frequently distracting
  • Irrelevant
  • Edge Browser doesn't support extensions
  • Few filters and effects
  • No star ratings
  • No before-and-after view
  • No Save As
  • No face tagging
  • 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
  • Xbox One game streaming requires a robust network
  • Still not many worthwhile modern Windows apps yet

  • So, that's the Windows 10 Technical Preview. In many ways, this new operating system seems more like a return to the drawing board than an incremental upgrade over Windows 8.1. Perhaps that explains the choice of version number better than other theories...

  • Microsoft has received a lot of heat since it released Windows 8 in 2012, and most of it was well deserved. While I personally have learned to adapt my workflow and find Windows 8 (especially after the changes made in 8.1), to be at its core a great oper...

  • The Windows 10 Technical Preview is most definitely a very early release, and it's still hard to judge exactly what shape the final product will take. As alpha releases go -- and the Technical Preview is very much an alpha -- it's stable and familiar.I've...

  • Abstract:  Our review of Microsoft's Windows 10 20H1 update—also known as version 2004, or perhaps the Windows 10 April 2020 Update—shows an OS focused primarily on building out existing features, rather than launching new ones. Some scaffolding is still apparent in...

  • Start menu is functionally excellent, Action Center features are handy, Settings app is finally a Control Panel replacement, Universal apps are higher quality
  • Will devs embrace Universal apps?, Some Windows 8.1 features may be missed, Expensive without free upgrade
  • Feature-wise, Windows 10 is the new Windows 7. It's robust, pleasant to use and – perhaps best of all – free...
