I switched to Windows 10 yesterday. Why the fuck are programs called apps now? Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

They could at least call them "applications" which is an actual word. Are teenagers part of Win10 design team? If I wasn't such a vidya babby I'd switch to a Linux distro immediately.

Is there anything else I should be aware of? Everything seems good so far except for update which is mandatory.

Also Win10 discussion thread

It's "Windows 10" not Win10, faggot.

>What do you define an "actual" word as?

A word that can be found on a dictionary:

Examples: Program, Application, Common, Sense etc.

I honestly don't know, English isn't even my native language and I still find the word app unacceptable for an OS as popular as Windows 10. What is this, a mobile OS?

>>53523199

Isn't the same thing being said for Windows 7/8, though?

Magnificent thread OP. I am sure it will attract Only constructive posts and a lot of originality.
Why do you keep making this type of Win10 threads you idiots? They only attract shitposters.

I've been using Windows 10 recently as well because of some bullshit I needed that only it supported. My biggest frustration so far with it has to be trying to get my Wacom Tablet to work properly with it. I mean I know Windows has always had this stupid bullshit trying to get my tablet setup but before it was just turning flicks and that press and hold to right click shit off (or going into services.msc and disabling the garbage Tablet PC service) now that doesn't seem to work anymore and I can't find the service in the list. No matter what I do I can't get this ALT SHIFT CTRL modifier key dialog box window pop ups to go away, also for some reason in Photoshop I can't right click on my pen. I've followed all the guides editing gpedit.msc and all that shit but I still can't manage to get it to work. Now all of a sudden my ALT key just stopped working completely in photoshop so I can't zoom out and eyedropper tool shit quickly. I'm honestly on the verge of just reinstalling a hackintosh on my machine it was buggy but it worked better then this. All I want to do is draw my anime porn god damnit.

I really like the new Windows 10. I do not get it why people always complain about it. It is faster than older versions, it has many new exciting features, the new apps are good and useful (and the Store is nice because it makes everything easier) and everything that worked on older Windows versions also work on this one. Now I can't wait for the new Redstone update to have new features and to make the best browser, named Edge, even better.

funny story, went in to ex bro in law car place to get state inspection today, his pc auto updated to windows 10, couldnt get office printer to work right, googled that shit and reinstalled and installed new brother drivers and software, reboot got hung up, did a hard restart, went outside chatted with him, smoked a couple of cigs, went back inside, finished up, made sure everything worked right and set up work homegroup so he could print from back offfice pc, dude did the instection for free and gave me 50 bucks for standing around bullshitting all morning, and i tried to give back cash and pay for inspection, he wouldnt go for it and asked if he and front office/ gf could call if something else went bad, i said no problem, but windows 10 isnt the worst thing, but just make sure to turn off cortona and all that other extra bull and it will be ok

I bet you're also one of the retards that had a problem with Pluto being declassified as a planet.
>waaah, it just doesn't FEEL right!
Pluto is not a planet.
App is a actual word.
These are objective facts regardless of how you feel.
