I installed it on one of my experimental PC's and my video server, it does the job, but for now I prefer to stick to the bog standard windows 8.1 for my ThinkPad and desktop.
As a test decided to see how well Win10 handles MDT/WDS deployment and the answer is good and bad. The new Litetouch/Winpe version seems to have done something either it compresses more over the network but all my imaging has had a solid speed performance improvement. However running the upgrade through MDT seems to be hit and miss and deploying works some of the time but runs into random errors. Have not done any captures yet so will have to play and see if that works out.
We pushed Win10 to several instructors in the Information Systems department and in the IT Dept to see if the bulk of programs work alright and to find any issues that break some registry stuff we push via GPO or just other nonsense.
Duh yeah. I mean programming is a breeze... Okay that was a bit of an insult ehh :/ I've been doing coding for around 3 years now. Making game sis pretty simple.
Well actually it is so I ain't arguing with a mod *rolls eyes* So peace!
You know it's not hard to work for Microsoft right?
Their buildings need Janitors. Aside from that, for a technical position you're looking at multiple phone Interviews followed by a full day of in-person interviews.

That Janitor position seems tempting. Might go for it.
Edit: If I'm not mistaken, didn't they recently purge a lot of the coders for Windows? It was last year or so.
So it's not easy XD. Be honest next time please because you're a mod
It entirely depends on the position you are looking for. It'll be easy to become an apprentice coder, or a software tester, but hard if you want a senior or management position.
The world of work is a strange place.

The interview process is the same regardless, and they all will have the same rigorous process. Stuff like custodial work could be the only type without but for all I know they have the same rigorous Interview process- Phone Interview, Phone screening, Another phone Interview, then a day of on-site Interviews. Testing Engineers (SDETs) have the same requirements as a typical software engineer but they also look for QA-related skills. "Apprentice coder" doesn't exist.

While apprentice coders may not exist themselves, other apprenticeships do, a lot of them are still in the ICT field.
The Microsoft Apprenticeship program, despite it's name, is a program that places candidates into Microsoft partner companies, not Microsoft itself. partner companies enlist in the program and applicable candidates are placed. These candidates are still interviewed by the company in question, so one could think of MS as a sort of recruiter in this context.
note that becoming a candidate in and of itself is an easy task, either. Even based on the blurb on that website I expect there are high requirements in terms of degrees as well as awards and certifications.
it also looks like their apprenticeship program is retired in most regions- in fact the UK is the only one where I'm able to find a reference to the program, so it may strictly be a Microsoft UK initiative.
EDIT: I should note that I don't do this because it's fun to argue. My point is that saying "it's easy to work at Microsoft" is fundamentally wrong. because it's not.
Though why people would want to work at google/Microsoft/etc, I'm not sure. Small companies are the best.

It's fine, I'm glad that you disagree with me as I now know that I've misinterpreted what I've been told in the past.

I'm honestly fine with windows 10.
I've encountered one single problem with W10 since I've had it and that is Space Engineers doesn't play very well on 10 due to DirectX.

You're acting like you work there and you wish XD.

The layoffs were mostly folks that were working with their smartphone divisions, as they had far too many after they bought Nokia.
Yeah some parts are easy.

It actually does exist for some people.
So please, refrain from trying to act right all the time.
You cannot be an "Apprentice coder" at Microsoft because no such position exists.
