It's the build number. 10000 is the next build number that can be divided by 16 and 100 after 9600. That's why it's called Windows 10. X is (inofficially of course) not allowed for any non-unixoid OS. I just want to know how many apps it breaks because it has a 5-digit build number.
Looks to me as if they actually listened to the chorus of people who want a desktop experience on their desktop instead of the mess we had under W8. Honestly to me, the only thing better would be more of the customization we had under W7. One of the thing I don't like about W8 is the lack of it - the plain, flat bars and lack of an Aero type interface with customization options. I've seen some stunning desktops under W7 that you just can't get under W8. They fix that, and I'll be glad to buy W10. T
Aero never went anywhere. It is on Win8 as well. I think you're talking about aero glass. Also, aero glass is not like the picture above. Aero glass has a frosted look.
I tried every "hack" under the sun to get Aero back and none of them ever worked reliably nor did they give me the experience that I personally liked - every time it was back to W7. Again, my personal opinion, but they took Aero out and that hurt the desktop interface. I've seen shots of 3yr old *nix desktops that looked 1000% better than anything I ever saw under W8. T
That's like driving a different car because it's red. Do you care nothing about what's under the hood?
I do care....but if W7 works, and runs all my apps, why can't I have something that looks good as well. Do you just throw away a old car because a new one has a different look? T
