And no I'm not hating for the sake of hating. You are choosing to see me that way. I have a very constructive attitude, you are failing to see my words for what they are. And yes I can't wait to smear MS again hoping they finally get tired of reading my complaints and finally decide to be constructive as well.
Firstly, I was perhaps a bit harsh by calling you a hater, but you never have anything good to say about Microsoft. There are things that I too dislike about them as a company and about Windows, but I can still call a spade a spade, and Windows 10 is in fact a good effort towards pleasing as many people as possible.
Secondly, when you say you want options, what then of the 3rd party market? Do they not fill in the blanks? Microsoft cant provide everyone everything, and they change with the times adding and removing things as they go. So sorry if they removed something that you use. The DVD playback thing and lack of Blueray support annoyed me, but I can understand their position on the matter. I used their in house software, many, many others didn't and now I with all those others repeat the rewards of that.
Yes, they may have changed how windows looks, but its still Windows. When I boot it up, even Windows 8, I can still do everything I could do with Windows 7, just a little bit quicker and on systems that require less resources. Its a different style, and I quite like the minimalist styling as it actually makes it look less cluttered. The colours of the squares I can agree with you on, but its not something that will stop me from using a good piece of software, and that's what Windows is and no one can deny that with any real conviction. It hits all the right points for 95% of people out there, the remaining 5% are so obsessed with having complete control of their system that Windows is too restrictive for them.
You claim to have no beef with the start screen or the squares, but rather the colours? Really, you look at that tiny aspect of the OS and you dismiss the whole? Aesthetics over functionality for you then? Interesting, very interesting as that speaks volumes about you and I'm not trying to insult you, it just gives me a small bit of insight into your personality. Windows 10 in fact makes a serious effort to bridge what was Windows 7, with what is now Windows 8. Its basically the best of both worlds mixed in. As I mentioned, you can turn off the start screen, and remove the tiles from the start menu. Yes the styling is different but is essentially the start menu of old. So what happens to your argument now? Its basically Windows 7, with a slightly different look but just more efficient. Not to mention numerous modern day additions that will not be added to Windows 7 due to its now aging kernel and bloated construction. It was a good OS for its day, and still is, but its now showing its age. It may run for many years to come for some, but eventually as was the case with windows XP people will have to admit that they will need to upgrade.
