   Win 8 was the version that changed everything.... Win 10 is an attempt by   
   Microsoft to   
   recognize that Win 8 changed to many things too fast for a user base that will   
   take many years to transition to touch-screen systems, while maintaining a   
   sense that the touch-screen user interface is the direction they want to go in   
   the long run.   
      
   My biggest complaints with it:   
   -- I don't find the Start Menu particularly useful. (Then again, the    
   last time I was relatively happy with the Start Menu was with Windows 2000)   
   -- While the Settings/Control Panel is better integrated than it in    
   Windows 8, it still is disjointed - with 'advanced settings' for most items   
   jumping to the old-style Control Panel items.
