Hmm kinda would like to see more, though whatever, more customization will be added at least which is always nice.
On the other hand, hope to see dark theme for explorer already.

Please keep my taskbar black. That would be great! Maybe they will allow us to add "darker" themes to most windows applications now. (windows explorer etc...)

On current Win10, you can set the taskbar to automatically match your background color or keep it black.

The x/minimize/smaller window button looks pretty far away from the corner. Put it back where it belongs, Microsoft, right in the corner.

why is there still a massive area along the top of each window, this just wastes space. 

other than that, it looks alright, i see where they are going, minimalist yet modern design.

Windows 10 for my Lemon (laptop based around a shitty APU that never worked right), Windows 7 for my desktop where I do Skyrim modding and want the ability to play Skyrim at 1440p/4K without the 4GB vRAM limit of 8 and 10.

If its a 64 bit OS i dont understand how it is possible that its limited to 4 GB...O.o

 

/ON

This ""design"" looks ugly as hell. They cant even make a proper ripoff of KDE...:dry:

There is a bug in Windows 8 and 10 that means with DirectX 9, you can only use 4GB of vRAM. AKA, for older games at higher resolutions with texture mods, Windows 8 and 10 are shit.

Just an FYI that the taskbar is likely a photoshop mockup and not a functional example, as some /r/windows10 users have pointed out.
