Windows 10 annoyances so far
-
1. You can't drag an address from Edge onto the desktop to create a shortcut. Dumb omission. 2. Connecting to a VPN now requires 4 clicks (including having the "Settings" dialog open) instead of two clicks almost in-place) 3. No areaAero. I know it's in there, buried, but so far I've not had any luck enabling it. ...and if that's all I can find to complain about then something went right somewhere.

How about * Edge is weirdly unstable. Can't quite figure out what's broken, because I switched back to Firefox on the first day, simply because I needed to be productive. * Network subsystem is unstable. For several days after installation, my wired network connection would stop being able to hear the internet after about 30 minutes. I know my connection was live because I could see the local net and also beause I could connect wirelessly and get the internet, for another 30 minutes. A subsequent patch partially fixed the problem, so that now it only *occasionally* can't find the internet. This was on a six-month-old Surface Pro 3, so you'd think they would have tested on this device. Win 8.1 and other apps have been rock-solid, so I don't suspect a hardware problem. I like the look of Windows 10. I want to like it. But I very nearly reverted. Way too buggy. If Microsoft's strategy is to shortchange testing on O/S releases, people better sell their stock. Oy!

Hmm did not think of that. I will check into it. Thank you :)
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet. The interesting thing about software is it can not reproduce, until it can.
You are most welcome.

What did you Canucks do to deserve such mistreatment? Oh yeah, you gave us Alanis Morissette. She is enough to cancel out all that Rush and BTO gave to us.

It doesn't give the cascading perspectives of the windows with {windowkey]-Tab; you just get a tiled effect of min-windows, similar to the line of mini-windows with Alt-Tab. (Just checked - the same happens with the default aero.theme as well). I liked the cascade as it gave you something meaningless to do which waiting.
You're referring to "Aero Flip" here. Well, unfortunately that's gone since Windows 8 as far as I remember. TBH, I completely forgot about that, every time people complain about "missing Aero" it's only about the window transparency.

The lack of respect for users' privacy and the data-mining model has already put me off. Ditto for Google. Looks like I will be switching to Mac.
Because Apple is better?

By all accounts Apple gathers less data. They also have an official stance of not following the data-mining / targeted adds model of their rivals. If I discover otherwise then I will simply avoid Apple too. It really is that simple. Microsoft are out of order and their behavior is totally unacceptable. Ditto for Google.

Just for curiosity's sake: do you have a credit card and/or are you a member of a rewards program (eg Air Miles, credit card reward program etc)?

Have you tried re-installing drivers in compatibility mode?
cheers Chris Maunder
Ahhhh... :doh: No, indeed I haven't; but sure will now... Guess that's why you make the big bucks, Chris! Thanks and Cheers Friend
