Windows 10 First Reviews In: It looks like Microsoft Has Got It Right This Time around.

While some are still awaiting the roll out of Windows 10, some have already got it and are speaking good of it. Most of the people are giving much praise to the introduction of the Start Menu again, Cortana and the Look and feel of the new OS. Not much has been said about the Microsoft Edge browser but there seems to be some hope for it too. Unlike Windows 8 which brought down Microsoft reign to a certain level, Windows 10 seems to be what Microsoft needs to hit back again. Let's have a look at what some people are saying.

Yahoo's David Pogue writes,
You really are going to love Windows 10. You’ll almost certainly want to upgrade your computers to it, especially since it’s free," and that "if you’re a PC veteran, then you’ll recognize Windows 10: It’s pretty much Windows 7, with Cortana, nicer typography, and a few new features.
Also, The Verge's Tom Warren says,
Windows 10 has some great additions over Windows 8 and Windows 7, and it really feels like a good blend of the familiarity of Windows 7 and some of the new features of Windows 8. It’s not irritating to use, and you don’t need a tutorial to find the Start menu. It just works like you’d expect.
And also from Wired,
The subtle, remarkable feat of Windows 10 is that it manages to introduce equally powerful new ideas without being so overbearing. If you upgrade your laptop from Windows 7 and steadfastly refuse to use any of the new features, the new OS will feel mostly like an aesthetic makeover. The design is cleaner and flatter, with heavier contrast between icons and backgrounds and a slightly darker overall look. It’s more consistent, too, as if Microsoft’s designers finally made it deep into the menus. But it’s the same Windows you’ve always known. Start Menu and everything. ... The great thing about Windows 10 is that there's no wrong way to use it.
From the above reviews, it can be noted that all three reviews are talking much about the how much user friendly the new OS is. It can be noted, even from Microsoft's official screenshots and also Insiders' screenshots that this OS is a combination of both Windows 8 and Windows 7 (There more than twice the number of people using Windows 7 than Windows 8)

Amidst all these, there will for sure be so many bugs coming with the OS and also a lot of Windows apps have not been upgraded to the new OS yet. It is therefore advisable not to upgrade just yet. You should wait for 30 to 60 days and by then, most of the bugs would have been fixed plus most software companies would have upgraded as well.

It looks like the future is really bright for the tech giants; it looks like they've got it right this time around but the question is, is this good enough to make Microsoft's reign come back to life again?
