So, they're still gonna try to foist metro turd crap upon the desktop users space.

Looks like Classic Shell will still be required to fix this turkey.

So be it.

windows 10 on lumia 520

Hi Julien,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I would like to let you know that Lumia 520 does not support Windows 10 Technical Preview as of now. We are starting with a limited set of devices supported for this first preview. Microsoft is always evaluating which devices to bring into the
program, including the Lumia 520.

Announcing the first build of Windows 10 Technical Preview for Phones:

For this first preview build these are the devices supported.

Expect the list to grow slowly at first but expand comprehensively over time. We will surely have more devices added to that list, but currently I am not sure if the mentioned model will be supported or not. I would recommend you to keep looking
here for more information Windows Blog

Keep us informed to help you further.

Metro/ModernUI is the new Windows - no getting away from that... that's what makes the 'Enterprise' tech preview interesting .. just to see how it may fit into a corporate environment..

PS.. Not that I personally use it.

 

Well, that's not entirely accurate. They wanted it to be the new windows, but their users by and large rejected it, so....

 

So..? It's about the greater eco-system... it's not what the users want.

 

Correct they are. They have polished the turd. Now you have a polished turd for an OS.

 

Yea, they tried that theory with 8 & metro turd.
How'd that work out...???

 

Since it appears that you can pin items to the right side of the new Start Menu, I assume you will be able to unpin them as well, which would make the new Start Menu more like the W7 Start Menu.

 

Yea, if we can unpin the metro stuff, it'll be better.

 

OK you guys, if W9 is such a turd then, why aren't you on Linux or OSX?

If you have read the article, you will see that you can Pin or Unpin any
programs that you like to see there. You can even make it like W7 and have
No tiles showing.

This is not what concerns me most, it's the way you access files and other
libraries. Also, all of our little tools that we depend so much on, will they
work just as well on W9.

I guess I will find out soon enough as I will be downloading a copy as soon
as it become available to the public.

I skipped W8 because I didn't like it. (installed and Uninstalled a few days later)
I usually don't skip an OS because I too am curious enough to see whats new
and how it works but , in W8's case, it was just not my cup of tea.

Hope to get better results with Window 9 or whatever they decide to call it.

Actually I could not have said it better myself. I use Windows 7 and expect Nine to be at least as good and "as pretty" as 7 or 7 is where I'll be staying till 2020. If they give it away to 8 users I'll use my 3 8 keys to upgrade 8 but will keep 7.

 

Only true of PDA devices. Desktop and Laptop computer users with a mouse and keyboard will always need and want the traditional Start Button/Start Menu/All Programs list. Navigating the system from the search field to all directories and files is a must. It's fast and efficient.

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think anybody has referred to 9 as a turd... we haven't even seen it yet.

I may have referred to metro as a turd, a position I stand by, but certainly not 9. Hell, not even 8/8.1, both of which I managed to set up just the way I like, in full desktop mode.

Indeed, I think most expect 9 to address 8's shortcomings where the desktop is concerned.
