Catching up to Linux
I've been playing with Win10 today on a 6-year-old Athlon64x2 w/ 2Gb RAM and I'm impressed that it runs as quickly as Windows 7 does on this machine. The menus and other functions are pretty likable for Windows and even IE looks snappy. However I've been tricking my Windows friends with my Linux Mint laptop (also 6 y.o) themed to look like Windows. I've been showing them the "improved" menu, virtual desktops, tiling, and a host of other features, some of which I'm seeing in Win 10. The Linux world has had many of these features for years. In fact, I think I like Win 10 because it reminds me so much of running Linux with the Cinnamon desktop environment.
