for 1 experience w 10 sucks , i'm not the only 1 eximo you know that's b/s and you know this as well as me
I know you aren't the only one, but I don't think opinions regarding an OS can ever be considered BS. My main issue with your post I laid out. It doesn't matter if you don't like Windows 10, the OP already has it and that is the OS in question and DX12 is on the table.
I can practically count the number of times I need to legitimately use the start menu since Windows 7, and I agree with Microsoft on this one. 9/10 times I use the quick launch 'favorite' applications. And beyond that I use the search function. I have no need to manually go through the menus to locate an application. And I can't really knock being able to move and edit tiles.
I still use 8.1 at work, and once you've customized the full screen start menu with your useful applications it becomes quite a handy quick menu. Again I very rarely use the verbose start menu, usually only after freshly installing an application.
My only annoyance with Windows 10 is a reduction in customization that were replaced with more simplified menus. Though that is again appearance related, I miss being able to set the 3D Canvas color but that is only one thing. Having some settings moved to the new format menus is also annoying, but that is only because they made changes. Any change would have basically been annoying. Other than that I have no real issues with it.
My biggest gripe might be the tile system being applied to Windows 2012 servers, which doesn't really fit well. And I suppose for 8.1 not having group policy or administrative functions for manipulating the tile system. Windows 10 does offer that as I recall from early releases.
If your big contention with Windows 10 is that it isn't really user friendly for modifying it, I can understand that, you are more experienced then the average user. But for the average user, a lot of those features are welcome.
There are plenty of threads for discussing Windows 10, though most are quite old I'm sure, if you want to continue there.
