[RTTY] Windows 10 upgrade

[Michael Schulz]

Hmm .. it seems you did come to a very fast conclusion. 

1. There are plenty themes available and colors can be changed.
2. Everybody cried over the loss of the start menu. Now it's back and
everybody bitches about that too? 
If you don't like it, why don't you turn on the full screen version? Did you
check out all the options?
3. Haven't tested it and don't use it so can't comment.
4. Is your user account admin?

Overall, this is the best Windows yet. And sooner or later 7 & 8 will be out
of support. So better get going
now while it's free. This will change next year. I have been using Windows
10 now since early 2015 with of
course the occasional glitch due to it being pre-release, but overall very
stable.

I would argue spending less than a day with a new version of an OS hardly
gives you enough time to figure
everything out when there's so much new stuff available.

I installed Windows 10 yesterday and didn't care for it. I'm back to
8.1 which I am very happy with. 

Things I didn't like:
1. Window borders and title bar colors are an ugly flat white and CAN NOT be
changed. That alone is a deal killer.
2. The start menu is basically a rehash of Windows 7. I much prefer the
tiles of 8.1 because they are much faster and more user friendly.
3. AutoHotKey, even when run as administrator, loses some functionality
regarding commands such as Alt-F4. 
4. The tiles on the start menu do not have the option to run as
administrator. 

To each his own, I guess.  10 goes back in the box.
