How is your Windows 10 experience so far?

[betplom]

I downloaded it direct from Micro$oft - didn't want to wait for my "turn".

Windows 10 is not new to me. I was a beta tester and had used the pre=release version for a while.

So far I'm a fan of Windows 10. It's fast, clean and looks purdy.


If you don't want to wait for the automatic upgrade you can download it now at the Micro$oft download page:

I like it. I've had the video player crash a couple times though. I reverted back to MPC.

I am waiting my turn. It won't crash my old laptop will it?

 

[Matty]

It just froze on me. I think I should've done a clean install.

I'm on Edge right now

Edge is fast but needs some work.

I used it for a couple of days before switching back to Firefox.

Edge -No addons and the pop up blocker is hit and miss, doesn't play well with forum software, and most importantly Roboform doesn't work with edge.

Switched back to Chrome. Windows has been stable since I upgraded my antivirus, maybe that was the issue.

I have been using both chrome and firefox for a while but finally chucked chrome for a few reasons.

Roboform portable doesn't work with chrome - only the installed version (lastpass does work in chrome but I prefer roboform), chrome extensions won't allow downloading youtube vids (firefox does) and chrome seems to keep a couple of instances running in the background at all times. Plus firefox is open source and is patched more frequently.

Ima stick with the fox.

No chance.

I use both google drive and OneDrive and both contain identical content - that way if there is a problem with one I still have the other.

Redundancy pal. We need it.

Main reason I shut it down after 5 seconds. Amount of ads on the average website is shocking.
