[QUOTE="FredNOk, post: 2762573, member: 35627"] Hey Nifrost. From what i have read, 10 is supposed to be outstanding and much more user friendly as well as intuitive. The replacement of internet explorer with what Microsoft refers to as project Spartan is something I think is exciting in its own way because i hate internet explorer as much as i did windows 8 when I beta tested it. I'm no fan of 8.1 and in my opinion, 7 was the best OS that Windows created. The company took their time in the development of 7 and used many ideas and suggestions that were offered up from those who test drove its variants (including me.) Windows 8 offered very little user control. It was based on the limited range of possibilities of what the common user could change about the experience by altering the preferences of the system that would make it more user friendly or customized. That was one of the aspects of 8 that I didn't like, even if it was a very stable build. Microsoft is promising better system integration on 10 to work better with the end user, even to the point that the system will learn your user habits and usage aspects to provide an experience which is more intuitive to your needs. It was called "10" because Microsoft developers feel it is a perfect 10. I feel confident that Microsoft created this OS while focusing on the end user , much like when 7 was produced. For example the desktop reintegration instead of the apps page shows that the developers were focusing on the end user's experience more than the "hip and up to date" app look of android. Most of the hard core PC users are the older population, while the younger age groups are hung up on smart phones. In my own opinion, Microsoft tried to sway those younger groups to PC with the 8 platform and the attempt failed horribly. I'm confident the new 10 will win over the most scrutinizing user that Microsoft has had, because even if I didn't beta test this variant, I have read many raves from developers and beta testers for the new platform.
