    You sir really are an idiot. You do realize some of the drivers for windows don't work on a MacBook air.

    Windows 10049 is in no shape to be put on a system as it is still in testing.

    Now in regards to the icons. If I'm going to use an OS I have to be willing to put up with the way the icons look. In their current form they make me want to barf then think wait I can replace all their crap with my own icons from Windows 7 or Windows 8 XD. It would be akin to driving the cube.

    Windows 7 > Windows XP > Windows Vista > Windows 10 > Windows 8.1 > Windows ME (in terms of usability and speed of getting things done)

    I want to punch Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 in the balls because in terms of speed of opening a program it is just stupid. Click on the start menu in Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 search through the tiles until you find it then give up and search for the program your trying to open. Where as with Windows 7 / Vista / XP look through alphabetical order find the program done.

    The Macbook air part was kinda dumb in my response I will admit. However I stand by the Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 start menu system being stupid and hard to actually access programs in a logical order.

    You need to specify its parameters in autounattend.xml file. There are some new settings provided for Windows 10 WADK.

    Unfortunately the Windows 10 won't likes the autounattend.xml file as it skips loading it while running the setup.

    Yes, that's working fine. But I'm always interested in the "scripted" method, so I can work it into automatic setups, etc.

    It's not transparent like the taskbar in Windows 8.1.

    Sorry to disappoint the aero-glass fans, they have voted it down, something about "problem with the new DWM driver" (if I know what it means). :popcorn:

    Haha they are keeping turning down aero glass for different reasons It is hard for Microsoft to listen to the "Crowd" it has been and for sake I don't see that they are gonne change their attitude in the future. A lot of smooth talking about listening to the feedback of the windows insiders and maybe 10 procent of the feedback is taken seriously :eek: Grow Up Microsoft and adapt to the present time !!

    Fact is, Microsoft relies a lot on those information about Hardware which they getting from those Hardware Manufacturer. Drivers are simply related to that! Apple has it easy in that regard, they just using very limited hardware and therefore having just a 'few' problems to solve compare to the whole bunch Microsoft has to solve! And for that Apple users paying an fortune for their hardware!

    To create an OS for about 98% of the available different Hardware products, needs a lot of effort and and in real, to solve all those different problems for the same output, is not just a simple and easy task! Relying on information from other developers (of hardware), not just a few, no, about near all of those, and than get all to works on the same software, is terrible difficult! And on top of all of that, Microsoft also has to listen to those who have noting in their mind than just to bother them with all those (in most cases) unfounded accusations!

    And if those 'unhappy' users didn't have anything else to complain, than the Microsoft product is to expensive in last resort! That the development of an OS cost's a fortune and need a huge amount of technical experts, not to forget time and many other fact's, is something what an normal thinking and educate human should see and realize that those cost's 'Money'!

    Ok, who isn't happy with the MS product's, should just change to Linux or even Apple! The first need's much more knowledge to start and use it while the second need a lot more money for to get both the hardware and the OS!

    The second has also more 'Advantages', not just that it cost's much more than normal PC, NO, the user also gets an kind Dictatorship, much more restriction for using, less available 3.party application, and, and, and!

    Why Apple users didn't complaining? Er....? Is it because Apple simply give an sh*t about what the user is thinking? Or Apple didn't mind to go to court with offenders? Or did the user some day's 'see's' the reality?

    Fact is that Apple Products all Made in China, using low cost manufacturing for to build the product which used only well tested (therefore 2. Generation) hardware. That the manufacturers (like Foxconn) using kind Slavery work condition and even Kid's work, is well known in the meantime as well! The cost of developing the OS for their product is very low, compare to the high cost MS has, and developing is faster as well. OK, all of that are a PLUS (???) for to buy an Apple product?!

    Back on topic: The Aero is an software which need to use some special Hardware and therefore to get it work, the developers of those hardware need to submit all required information to Microsoft, if they didn't creating those needed drivers on their own. There a lot Hardware Developers, which didn't give the required info's to Microsoft and also refusing for to create the drivers on their own! Who's fault is that, Microsoft? Nada! And such 3.party Companies are some like HP, NEC and others!

    There so many facts behind such problems, which we'll never see, neither realizing! Complaint's from Users will never work! The only choice the user has, to wait and see what finally will or even could be done!

    And just to note: I'm not a close friend of Microsoft and if I could I avoid to use their Products, as I'm doing Services for Computer and related Hard- and Software, I've no choice, I simply must use Microsoft Products and also use Linux, Unix but Apple product's!
