Windows 10: You score the operating system

  • Published

Windows, the world's most used operating system, has launched its newest version.

The operating system has been described by Microsoft's chief executive, Satya Nadella as a "Windows as a service" with improvements to be rolled out as they become available, rather than working towards a specific upgrade at a future date.

We asked you to give Windows 10 a mark out of 10 (10 being the best). Here are some of your marks.

Some of you had a few teething problems with @LucasVDBartlett tweeting, external: can't even download it so not good so far.

While others decided not to even try, here's what @captain_clegg_1 tweeted, external: I'm not sure it will run on my 6 year old PC so I'm staying with windows 7 that does!

And @HaidemenosL has an alternative view, external: Mac OS X is still faster and better. Nice try but no cigar.

@richardshank786, external: I've used it for almost a week being it was released under v10240. It's bland and no different than 8.1 but honed... Staying with Windows 7 for the sole reason it has Aero Glass and runs my older programs.
