    Since it was announced by Microsoft last month, Windows 10 has become the latest buzz on the internet. So let’s face it, because Windows 8 - even after evolving into Windows 8.1 - wasn’t quite appealing. While there are in fact many legitimate reasons to explain why Windows 8 is a failure, the most important one was apparently the absence of the Start button, which has been the heart and soul of all Windows operation systems since the very first day.

    Back when Windows 8 was launched, everybody was complaining about the absence of the Start button. And since the UI changed entirely, the learning curve was very steep, to the extent that many users did not even know how to start using their computers after upgrading to Windows 8.

    To be honest, the attempt for Microsoft to mimic a mobile device was a failure, because people who work on a PC are mostly going after the convenience and handy access which cannot be found on a mobile phone or a tablet. Trying to simplify everything from icons to UI to minimal design on PC is unnecessary.

    And therefore in a bold move of announcing the Windows 10, Microsoft has admitted to the failure of Windows 8. For users who chose to stay with Windows 7, the new OS should be familiar enough, especially those who prefer the beloved keyboard and mouse input instead of touch screen interface. And according to the report on InfoWorld, although the Metro tiles in Windows 8 will still be used in Windows 10, they can always be removed if you don’t like them.

    On a side note, your favorite gadgets in Windows 7 are back - but in Metro tiles format. This might or might not be good news, because the new gadgets in Windows 10 cannot be resized that much.
    What we can see right now of the Windows 10 is just a technical preview. Surely, problems might still be there in the new OS, but then again, it’s still a work in progress and we’re probably still going to see a lot of nice changes and improvements from Windows 8. Let’s stay tuned and hope we won’t be disappointed this time.
