Lets START again, with Windows 10 by Michael Freeman, Apollo IT


We’ve all been here before haven’t we? New version of Windows released to great fanfare, and then BANG. Different this time?


Rubbish Microsoft releases plague our lives, don’t they? Windows 10 - come on down!


Just a moment, this might not be as bad... Hard to believe but stay with me.


Imagine you run a successful bakery, and one day - you wake up, and replace your bread and cakes for toothpaste. Whos idea was that?


Take Windows 8 - Microsoft took a system that was universally liked (Windows 7), and turned it into toothpaste. We all knew it was a daft mistake... the missing start menu, the silly “apps” that no one uses, the moronic touch- screen layout that thought it was an IPAD (it really wasn’t!), yet doesn’t like your keyboard and mouse. Bizarre wasn‘t it?.

To be fair, Windows 8 was built on better stuff. It’s faster than 7, and more secure.


Windows 10 (they skipped 9 as they wanted a “fresh start”) does seem to resolve some of these earlier desktop foibles and annoyances (not to mention other exciting improvements). Good, because those of us watching Windows 8 a few years back were covering our faces in cringing frustration. Windows 10 is what Windows 8 should have been.


A little Windows 10 “free upgrade” notification might appear soon on your PC. No-one wants to be a lab mouse (forgive the pun), so we suggest waiting a little while. Also be mindful that some software might struggle under the new system.
