Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hmm I had the exact opposite experience. It seemed to work pretty flawlessly for me. What type of issues did you experience?

Several BSODs, glitches with the virtual desktops, inconsistent fonts and layouts, multiple application (explorer) crashes, wifi connectivity problems, failures returning from sleep and standby, dozens of UI inconsistencies.

Which "ring" of updates are you on? Fast (it's gonna break) or slow (it's gonna break less)?

I have been running the technical previews since the very start and I have to say I am quite surprised at the July 29th release date. Even today's builds are riddled with problems. They have a lot of work to do if they really think it will be consumer ready by the end of July.

"today's builds" arn't todays. They're months behind what MS are developing.

Can you reliably turn off web search from the start menu, and one drive integration, yet?

I have that on Ubuntu and it annoys the hell out of me. No I don't want to wait 0.5 seconds for a search result about Firefox just to open a browser!

Surely you can disable that in a relatively easy way? I'm thinking about trying linux and such comments kinda scare me.

You can easily turn it off in Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Search tab -> Include online search results

Does Windows 10 includes a better Terminal or we need to install Putty?

I've been using Cmder lately, that's a good option

I love the look of Cmder, and I use it now and again, but it has a number of bugs. They fixed a few with the release two weeks ago, but there's still a few showstoppers for me.

Nice to see that Clippy is back. Oh sure, it's called Cortana, but rest assured - it's Clippy all right. Your very own personal assistant, now fully integrated into Windows (not just Office).

Taking hundreds of hours of work and dismissing it is petty and unjustified.
