Having upgraded two laptops without issue I would say that it appears to be what I assumed it would be, which is largely Windows 8.5 with a re-engineered UI. Pros: Fast to start and resume. Not forced into a touch-centric UI if you're not on a touch device. Common platform across desktop and mobile. DirectX 12 - good for gamers. Cons: Kind of unfinished in some areas. Outrageous data slurp default settings - the first thing anyone should do post-install is read up on how to stop it phoning everything home. Slightly schizophrenic regarding settings - some things are in a modern 'app' type thing, some are the old familiar dialogs that have been there since XP. Family Safety gone with no replacement yet. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1439540987.1298236.356039329.32123...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
