I don't like the disappearance of the Windows Accessories folder (I had to pin Character Map to the taskbar (I moved to France recently and use it regularly)), but that's a minor thing.

I don't know why, but I'm really liking the rounded corners on window "frames". I also like the new default Windows sounds. More pleasant to my ear.

I'm on a high speed new laptop with an SSD C: drive, so haven't noticed any increase in boot speed.


You can get some of the "old" stuff back if you want. there are some good articles around about how to do that. Just a quick search away. Some people get used to certain stuff and it is only natural to want it back. I know I do or did, I did some of the very minor fixes needed to have menus a certain way etc.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
