Why Upgrade to Windows 10?

Actually, that size difference is what many people do not like. You can fewer entries on the start screen because of size of the tiles opposed to a simple menu listing.

Not if you resize the tiles to Small like in my Programs here or at the top of Office. Plus I can still drag the Start menu bigger again if I wanted. I can fit way more on here than in my 7 Start menu. Not dissing 7, I love it, but 10's Start menu does offer more.

Those are still huge compared to the entries on the lists on my start menu and the icons on my desktop and taskbar. One thing I do have to say for Win 10's start menu is one can resize it by simply dragging a side.

Yep your right nothing touch centric about that

In all fairness you can use a mouse instead of your finger on the tiles, which is probably where Gav is coming from. Some people like the tiles; I'm not one of them. Heck, I'm not overly fond of icons!

They're really not that big. I don't like big icons but these are fine by me personally, they may look bigger as I only snapped a part of the screen. The taskbar icons are no bigger than in 7, in fact given the actual button area they're smaller.

I find it interesting that people like the Win 10 Start menu but hate the Win 8 Start screen. IMO, they aren't that much different. The major difference is that the Start screen in Win 8 is full screen as opposed to the Windowed, .

I agreed with John that in 8.1 the start screen is good and I might have been able to live with that,

Except for the fact I already paid for start8 which so did he
I actually prefer it over the new start menu of 10tp
If it weren't for all of the charms bars 8.1 would be okay,

I find Bing integration offensive in either but especially in 10tp it is on steroids.

I've never touched my monitor once. Except to clean it.

That is actually a very good point,
I don't have any screens that are touch capable
Windows know it and installs a touch centric interface anyway.

I give up. I'll unsubscribe from here.

You know, the big complaint about Windows 8 was it did not give many choices. Now Windows 10 does give you choices and everyone wants to complain about that.
