With the recent passing of Windows XP and recent abandonment of Windows 9 the birth of Windows 10 is in the works!
I personally did not like Windows 8 and I personally LOVED windows 7! I guess we are all forced into liking the new windows 10. It has a new start menu which is a hybrid of the Windows 7/vista/xp start button and the Windows 8.1 start menu.
One thing I tell my clients is that change should not be feared but embraced! The basic concepts are all still the same. The “X” in the top right corner will close the active window, The Start button is in the lower left, The overall look is similar with some modified and added features.
As we test the operating system we will post pictures for you to see.
