I've never really understood the point on these. It's probably better to just buy/get the OS if you want it that badly as it gives you the true functionality of the UI instead of just a change of appearance with dumbed down versions of the features.

That's right... it's pointless..

 

There are cheap tablets with Windows 8.1 these days...  especially the cheap desktop towers for basic usages such as internet, note taking, etc...

 

the powerful ones are for gaming, video editing, etc.

Considering trying it, how hard is it to uninstall/ revert back to my windows 7 if I decide I don't want it?

 

You can run software again and click on Uninstall when you don't want it.

The point is very simple. Windows 10 right now is Technical Preview build and not really ready for daily use OS. While people who want to gets the similar user experience of Windows 10, this is what can offer without risking to use new OS in development.

Simple, people can test Windows 10 via VM. Once the testing is completed, they can delete it and install the latest version as soon as the final build is out.

 

:rolleyes:

That's a fair point since your target audience is probably those who can't set up VMs, VHD booting or dual booting.

 

Though, I'd imagine most users on Neowin will probably still want to test the actual OS.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
