Some software works on Windows 10, some software doesn't.

I had no issues personally on Windows 10 for now, but many AVs are incompatible as of now

Does the ESET's HIPS work on Windows 10? I know it had problems...

The most ugliest version of windows ever released since XP.
Start up looks like you have installed tons of adware.
Also i am sure that many of the programs who works like a charm in windows 7 will not work in 10.....
Windows 10 looks more like an OS for smartphones than OS for PC.......too bad
Where is the awesome simplicity of XP and 7? I wonder......

I had issues as well, on previous builds. Must have been an issue with the driver.

I think it's the best-designed version of Windows ever released.
Start up I think was well done and looks nice.
Some apps work, some apps don't. Had no issues with exception of Antivirus products and Virtualbox.
Windows 10 looks more like an OS for PC than Smartphone, in my opinion.
I'm running the build right now and as far as I can see, it doesn't get as simple as it is for me to use right now.

NOTE: The screenshot above is outdated.. Let me show you the new screenshot.

I mean, that's my opinion. Some people are bound to not like it, some people (me) do like it.

I respect your opinion, i just want to make clear mine.......

No.2 issue existed as I test the latest build of Windows 10 Technical preview on Virtual Machine.

Anyway regarding in the changes made, the start menu style is fine but of course design to adapt on smartphones and touch screen devices; therefore Microsoft wanted to provide something new.

Personally Windows XP and 7 are really the top line OS as that time before, smartphones and other devices are not totally full blown out so interface have separated styles.

Don't worry, I see what you mean. Especially about the smart phone thing.

 

[Oxygen]

I like improvements, but I hate the start menu.

 

[BoraMurdar]

I don't like the start screen/menu design either, it would be better if the Windows 10 would be able to detect the device on which is going to be installed and to adapt it's interface differently on touch device and non-touch device.
But I like new Cortana, new Office Apps, Spartan Browser with Extensions support, default mkv support...

@MikeV What software won't work in Windows 10, don't forget developers will update to make them compatible.

OS X doesn't provide backwards compatibility like Windows does.

I had issues with Windows 8.1 and some of my music production software:
-Reaper
-Presonus - Studio One
- Adobe Audition 3
- Sony - Soundforge 8
and tons of my music plugins (some of them are only .dll files.....)

and some others i don't remember right now......
In general a lot of programs that i use doesn't work on windows 8.1 unless if i have the latest version (which i don't like )
Windows 8.1 was more ''fragile'' and sensitive instead of windows 7 which literally can load even the most old program without problems and crashes.

The exact problem is the versions you are using, they are all OLD versions. Of course there will be compatibility issues, they were developed for an era when Windows 8.1 or 10, didn't exist. For reference, Windows 7 was released in 2009.

Adobe Audition 3 (2008 - 2009)
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Windows&product=92​

Latest: Adobe Audition CC - https://creative.adobe.com/products/audition (Supports: Win7/8/8.1)

Sony SoundForge 8 (2006)
http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/dl/dl.aspx?dwnid=160​

Latest: Sony Sound Forge Pro 11 - http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/soundforgepro/techspec (Supports: Win7/8/8.1)

If you can upgrade your Hardware, do the same for your Software.

Wowwww you did all this search for me....I am honored...Thank you very much!!!
However i know there are new versions of Adobe Audition & Sony Soundforge, the problem is that they are more complicated to use and i don't like them.
In windows 7 even if a program is older it can be load without any problems or crashes. In windows 8.1 things are not like this.
And it's not only these 2 programs...i have some specific plugins that i use constantly and i had problems with win8.1
That's why i like win7 so much....it is very stable,loading everything you install,no hung ups,no crashes,and definitely more simple than win 8.1 that throwing this big screen full of tabs to your face when you log in.
I general my feeling is that win7 is more ''heavyweight'' OS than win8-8.1 which happened to be more sensitive to my case.

FYI, Windows 8.1 allows users to load directly to the desktop, and the correct term would be Start Screen. Tabs are found in the web browser or some 3rd party desktop applications. You should try Windows XP IE6, it comes with no tabs, might be useful.

I have found Windows 8/8.1 more stable than 7. Only BSOD when testing Beta Security software.
