Thanks, but it goes far beyond start menus, it's anything that is open, no tittle bars, just white, square sharp edges, and no, the asthetics aren't the most important thing, but I do have to look at it, so . . . it reminds me of a number of years back when I was stuck in the Linux grove for a few of years, there was some bug or something, can't recall, but it would leave you with no title bars on your open windows and stuff like that, that's what it actually looks and feels like to me, a bug, something wrong, a mistake, absolutely hate it, thought it may just be unfamiliarity and that it may grow on me or become 'familiar' or acceptable, but a couple of weeks was all I could stand, I wish I had a better word to describe what I think of it other than hideous, but . . . It's not just the look, the feel, it feels dumbed down or something, and that may have to do with that it is made to be equally at home on PC's, Tablets and mobile phones etc, compromises would have to be made, and the PC being the more powerful is the one that would feel those compromises the most. That's what I think anyway, I may of course be wrong, but one thing I am not wrong about is I just don't like it, never liked Windows 8 either.
I never found it to be markedly faster than my Windows 7, I don't have a problem with, or have ever thought, '
gee I wish my PC was faster, or would boot faster' I don't have a problem on my music PC's, or have never thought or felt the want or need for lower latency, I just don't have an issue with it, my PC is more than fast enough as is with Windows 7, and rock solid. It's kind of like, my car can do 265KPH, I could buy another one that does 280KPH, but whats the point, the speed limit is 100KPH, I just don't need any extra speed or power.
I am quite happy with Windows 7, and quite happy to stay with it until I am forced to do otherwise. Windows 10 is just not for me at this time.
