I finally got my hands on the preview of Windows 10 and I have it installed in a virtual machine for testing purposes. At first glance, Windows 10 is everything that Windows 8 should’ve been from the beginning. If Windows 8 was what Windows 10 is today, it wouldn’t have been nearly as hated as Windows 8 was when it initially came out. And now, without further ado… my take on Windows 10.

Intellectual Property Theft, Manufacturing, and China
We have seen time and time again that China doesn’t care at all about the intellectual property of products produced/invented by western companies and manufactured in China. You can see how they don’t care by going to eBay and seeing all of the various cheap knockoff items being sold on eBay that look like the …

Here I am, July 1st. Still running Windows 8.1 Update 1. Yep, still running it and I haven’t at all thought about going back to Windows 7. I even bought a ModernUI app from the Windows Store! Very cool. Now, there have been a few bugs that I have seen come up while using Windows …

Another Windows 8.1 blog post… crap, you’re going to be hating on it again. Aren’t you? No, not this time. So I had to reload my computer’s operating system because things were getting “glitchy.” At the time I was running Windows 7. And by “glitchy” I mean things wouldn’t work correctly for no good reason. …

Bill Gates, Microsoft’s newly appointed “technical advisor,” has reignited the perennial debate about whether Microsoft should sell off its Xbox and Bing businesses. For years, analysts and investors have leaned on Microsoft to sell off the loss-making Xbox division. With new CEO Satya Nadella saying that the company should focus on its core markets, rumors …

One of the biggest gripes that I have with Windows 8 is that they took away Aero, the translucent window dressings that Windows 7 had. Many of us like that visual effect and to those of us that like Aero, Windows 8 looks hideous. Until now. I just found a theme on deviantart.com called Aero …

Yes, I have another Windows 8.1 blog entry but as you can see from the title of this blog entry it’s going to be a good one for the version of Windows that I have spread so much hate about on this site. Two of the biggest improvements that I’ve seen so far in Update …

I know what you’re saying, not another Windows 8.1 blog post. But, this is not like the posts I’ve made in the past. No, this actually speaks (somewhat) good about Windows 8.1. Let’s talk about how Windows 8.1 is much smaller in stature. I have to hand it to Microsoft, they really trimmed the fat …

Now, I could be biased here. Seriously, I could be. Because I do indeed like Windows 7. Windows 7 was the first version of Windows that I can truly say has never caused me to want to pull my hair out. It’s fast, it doesn’t get in the way of what I want to do, …

Recently there has been some kind of movement towards a flat UI design. Personally I don’t understand the reasoning behind it. If you ask me, it’s hideous. We worked for years on UI design to make people feel like the computer was more than just a tool, we made it feel like the computer was …
