    I've installed all the official builds of Windows 10 for about 10 min then reverted back to Windows 7.

    I think that MS is making huge mistakes and the only way that they are going to get the majority of people to use Windows 10 is to give it away for free, and force people to use it in conjunction with DX12. I have talked to a few corporate network admins that say that they will migrate to Win10, and even more that say that they are looking for alternatives. Seems that there is little space in the business world for this so called "hybrid" OS.

    It looks to me that the current trend, not just in software but with a lot of major corporations, (Food, Bio Tech, Software, Government) is turning away from them, looking for better solutions.

    • Windows Defender has an invisible system tray icon.

    It's only because the background is white too.
    if you put the icon in the taskbar, you will see that the Windows Defender icon is beautiful (but white).
    Sorry for my English, i'm French.

    :rofl6: :rofl6: :rofl6:

    Thanks for sharing this :D This is quite a big design flaw if you ask me. I just checked and the same thing happens with the volume icon when you draw it off the tray. Why are both the icons and the background white anyway?

    Ah yes, the white icons on a white background. Reminiscent of Office 2013, with its white text entry fields with white border on a white background. Good luck finding things.

    Remind me why I bought a high-end graphic card and big monitors, so I could see these blah colors real good.

    Brilliant! With that and Classic Shell installed, Windows 10 might turn out quite brilliant after all :cool:

    The 1 Pixel Border is purely aesthetical, you can still grab just fine.. the rest of the border is invisible.

    Does anyone know a way to manually install the new build without downloading the whole ISO? I'm getting Windows Update error 800705b4 which I think is being kicked by a realtek driver update.

    Firefox is frozen in this build. I have to maximize/minimize the window to see changes. Anyone else is having the same issue?

    True, what we have there, that mini start screen that replaced the start menu, is just a horrible disgrace.
    In 9879, the start menu was at least still workable. Okay, you still had to remove that disgusting tiles cancer one-by-one, but once you removed them all, the start menu resized down to normal size, and you could resize it yourself. It also had a proper search bar.

    That mini start screen that was introduced in 9926 as replacement for the start menu really is a horrible disgrace. You still must remove that disgusting tiles cancer one-by-one, but this time, once you're done, it simply retains its size, so there's a huge, empty space now. You can't resize it anymore now, so you can't do anything about it. Plus, the searchbar was removed in favor of this retarded Cortana nonsense. Pathetic!

    Two months later with 10041, nothing has changed. Still no start menu, but still just that awful non-resizable mini start screen instead.
    Only change is some sort of pseudo-transparency which you can't see at all until you're that close that your nose touches the monitor.

    Also, let's better not talk about the new, terribly ugly icons, which are a real emetic. Or the removal of Aero Glass.
    If that's how Windows 10 is turning out to be, I'll avoid it like the plague (just like Windows 8), even if it's a free upgrade from Windows 7.

    If Microsoft listened to feedback, they never would have removed the Start Menu in the first place.

    Windows 10 is still in the early stages of development, but things are not looking good. Maybe they will fix things by the time Win 10 is RTM. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Windows 8 showed that Microsoft doesn't care about usability, they only care about their "make everything look like a phone" nonsense. So far, Win 10 has made a few minor improvements but overall Win 10 builds are getting worse, not better.

    M$ wants to be stronger on phone market but they forget PC/laptop users , that's why most of the companies will find other solution than using m$ OS.
