   - It doesn't crash or freeze up as often, this might seem to be real progress for microsoft, but they've only had 30 years of windows to write an OS which doesn't crash frequently. Hardly an achievement really.
   - The Menu is better than w8, but that's a low base to compare with. But it's still just hard to use, it's easier to type the app into the search bar, but instead of just showing apps installed, if it doesn't find what you are after it just returns internet based links.
-  - Sleep, I have a dual monitor setup, laptop screen and external HDMI monitor (sadly still no multiple desktops it seems, see [[rb:whywin7isrubbish#multiple_desktop_support|Windows 7 is rubbish and KDE/Linux is better]]) but if I close the laptop lid to sleep, whne I open it again, all the windows are on the laptop screen, seems incapable of remembering where I want windows putting.

 Well if you do, probably best to avoid using any Microsoft software:-

 Or better still, don't keep a hidden stockpile unless your name is Kim.

+If you have decided to move away from windows, hopefully I've done my bit, but even MSN has an article from Apple about why you should to a Mac:- [[https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technology/windows-10-end-of-life-apple-gives-us-5-reasons-smbs-should-make-the-switch-to-mac-before-windows-10-goes-awol/ar-AA1OjMxS?]]
