One Month with Windows 10: The Good, the Bad, and the Truth
Here's what the new OS feels like after more than 30 days
Windows 10 is the new kid on the block, and in the past 30 days, we've witnessed one of the most aggressive marketing campaigns ever put together by the Redmond-based software giant Microsoft, as the company has encouraged not only users but also its own employees to upgrade their communities to the new operating system.
Microsoft took the wraps off Windows 10 on July 29, and since then, we've been flooded with ads, news, and information about the operating system, everything with the purpose of making people aware that the product is finally available and that everyone can download it free of charge as long as they are running a genuine copy of Windows 7 and 8.1.
Obviously, we installed Windows 10 RTM on day 1, but we've also been one of the six million insiders (according to Microsoft's own numbers) who have used the operating system since the first testing build reached the web in October 2014, so the final version rolled out on July 29 brought little to no surprises for us.
But yet, what has happened in the last 30 days has provided us with an in-depth look at how Microsoft sees the future of Windows as a Service because, as the company has said on so many occasions, the new operating system is no longer a piece of software, but a service per se.
Under this new strategy, Windows 10 receives updates at a much faster pace than before, no new app versions and system improvements are released every few days. And despite this, the latest 30 days have shown that it's not all just milk and honey as far as Windows 10 is concerned, so read on to find out what we think about the new operating system.
