Win10 is alright

[Dieselboy]

Installed win10 as an upgrade for my win7 at home - much better than win7 and a billion times better than win8. Zero compatability issues. Experience is faster and more intuitive UI. Easier to use.

So I upgraded my work laptop, as I manage our Windows 2012 AD here I only had to ask myself for approval. Same experience as at home but I'd say a bit better. Laptop feels a bit quicker too. No compatibility issues at all as of yet. Even 3CDaemon is working for TFTP. Cisco Jabber is working fine, as is office 2010 and putty. PuttyCM Tabs is also still working.
Java is still giving me grief though.

Check AnyConnect, if you have that.

I've had issues with Win10 and my laptop's power management, and I'm waiting on Asus to come up with new ACPI drivers to fix the issue. Power management was also an issue with Win7, so check that feature before gong full-bore Win10. But it is a very very nice OS.

Upgraded my laptop(Win7) and my desktop(Win8.1) to Win10.  I'm pretty happy with it so far but have ran into a couple of issues with my desktop.  The first issue was the graphics card would not load the correct driver.  This was an easy fix.  I had to uninstall the driver Microsoft installed.  I could not install the correct driver until this one was removed.  Once removed it installed with no problems.  The second problem was after the cumulative update I could not connect to the Internet.  This turned out to be my antivirus(Bitdefender).  I had to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall the antivirus to get my Internet connection back.

I should have said - AnyConnect v3 is running fine, with SSL. This was one of the first things I tested as usually M$ breaks it! In any case, if it is working right now, there is absolutely nothing to say Windows Update KBxxxyyy will not be released next week which breaks it.

I've not checked the old legacy IPSEC client though. The one they stopped updating years ago so they could force people to purchase it in the AnyConnect application.

I watched a design youtube vid a few months ago. They talked about mouse pointers and OS's. Specifically, a study was done about how quickly a person can move a mouse pointer and click a target. They found (funnily enough) that if the target is very large, it's quicker and easier to hit. In addition, a target that was dead in the corner of a screen can look tiny, but the action of the mouse to get there actually means that the target is theoretically very large; ie the whole outside of the screen. With Win10, close buttons are big and they are all dead in the corners. Unlike other previous designs sometimes the buttons are set just slightly inwards of the corner. This then makes it not possible to hit with the mouse very easily and the target is not infinitely big but instead only as small as it really is on the screen. This is basically something I feel they have done right in this OS.

check Citrix also, if you run it, we've seen problems with remote users accessing Citrix via win10.

any-connect fully supports windows 10. Tested it on a few machines, and we had issues with the package installer working...

I've seen issues where easy vpn will make windows 10 unusable if you have it on your windows 8.1 machine.

I have also seen issues with wireless NICs not connecting, and having to reboot the machine.



I am personally not going to upgrade until after the first big hotfixes/patches have been implemented to fix a lot of the bugs.

Just got some vendor patches that let me reboot again. That's promising. Frequent reboots will be the rule as new patches release.

Are you running the Home version? Home users are now the guinea pigs of MS patches.

Yep. I'm the home version. Feels like I'm running a beta, still...

Since my customer is uncle sam it's likely I won't have to deal with any of these issues until Win 2020 when we finally make the hop to anything in-between.

Wouldn't mind giving it a go on my gaming PC once they iron out compatibility issues. Mess with my game time I breaka you face.

May be a month or two to get all the drivers out. I can do a restart now, but still no sleep mode.

Haha - isn't that the truth.

I'm looking at upgrading one of our virtual reality machines in the office (oculus rift etc). Not been able to do it yet though. They're currently on win8.1 and I really hate win 8.1. It's sort of like Windows Vista v2.

I can say that Win10 is very much like Win7 in use and experience, but the start menu has definitely been warped by its passing through the Win8 mess.

dramas with vmware networking (specifically bridging) until a full uninstall/reinstall. aside from that seems to work including anyconnect as dieselboy indicates.
the ridiculous amount of spying is a bit disheartening (in fairness it does seem no worse than droid/fruit company)
