I just activated it, it really does look A LOT like the windows 8 start screen, just that they added the taskbar. Am I missing something?
It looks about as similar to the Windows 8.1 start screen as Windows 7's Start Menu looks like Windows XP's. Pretty much everything is rearranged; the only common items are that it puts the tiles at about the same place.
I was going to take some screenshots but that is when I learned another "feature" of windows 10, which is that Print Screen does squat. Can't be arsed to figure out what they screwed up there.
As you mentioned, the Taskbar is still visible. meh. Not sure about that one. makes sense though, in terms of appeasing the Win7 diehards (The same folks who didn't like Windows 7 when it was called "Windows Vista", but I digress), Who freak out if the taskbar isn't always visible.
-The Search results appear on the opposite side of the screen. (from the right side, they now appear on the left) The results subsequently will hide most tiles.
-All the controls are moved. There is no Search button, the power button is moved to the complete opposite side of the screen, from the upper right to the lower left (because screw you that's why) There is no Profile button, instead that is now hidden in the upper left icon, with one of the most generic un-useful icons ever and effectively expands out the "All Programs" menu that is otherwise visible in the start screen, which includes the profile link.
-Search button is now gone. Typing into the Start Screen sometimes works. Other times it doesn't. Usually only works if you type right after opening it, if you do anything else and try to type it doesn't do anything. With Windows 8.1 I can be anywhere in the start screen(s) and if I start typing it opens search.
-No "All Apps" Screen. on full-screen start menu mode the "All Apps" option opens a little foldout that contains Apps. This is completely useless. All apps was already pretty awful but they actually made it worse, pretty hilarious. It also ignores program groups, instead forcibly arranging everything by name.
I'll give Windows 10 a thorough chance, but I'll most likely be sticking to Windows 7, since that's what seems to work best with my current hardware. One thing I'm worried about is Microsoft ending support for Windows 7. I know it won't be for another 4 years, but what will happen when the time comes? Will we be forced to accept an operating system designed for the technologically illiterate?
Surely one of the biggest corporations in the world will consider the outcries of its faithful customers. /sarcasm
Another observation. It seems to me that the development of windows 10 wad a little rushed. Since the release of the second windows 8 update, they've only had a little over a year.

What they did with the release of Windows 10 was amazing, the insider program was a great idea to iron out most of the OS breaking bugs. They really had the communities support in building W10.
The problem with your situation is indeed, that you will probably have to switch to a new OS when they stop support for Windows 7, it's unfortunately something that will have to happen eventually, W7 can only progress so far, and if they keep the support up for so long it'll eventually cost them more to keep up. Old things need to die eventually, cycle of life. I would seriously give W10 the best shot you can give it, I did the same with W8 and loved it.
You are able to disable the search of the internet, you can disable it in settings, I found it and rejoiced!
Yes, I already know about the setting. That was the first thing I tried. It did squat. It seems to work now, but I think it was because I forcibly disabled all the Search nonsense with group policy editor.
For an OS that has a tagline of "The best Windows yet" it's absolutely horrendous.
oh, here's something fun too- I tried to update my other other PC (A AMD-based system I built a month ago or so, I hardly use it so it's a good candidate).
Now it just says it will install it when it's "Ready". Isn't it ready now? Apparently I will be notified when Microsoft deems me and that system worthy of their benevolence. Their FAQ says I can check the "Get WIndows 10" program to see when it's ready. Shame that seems to have uninstalled as part of the latest updates.
It's actually interesting, in a way. It seems the effect that Windows 8 had on many people "Microsoft is stupid, this OS is garbage, etc" is exactly the effect that the OS release intended to appease those people had on me.

IIRC, Microsoft said that their update servers are packed at the moment, a lot of people are trying to update at once, two of my friends got bored of waiting and just installed manually, which seemed to have worked fine, although it took another hour or so to download and install.

Can you match my resolve? If so then you will succeed. - Monty Oum
I decided to "Upgrade" my Computer to Windows 10. The upgrade worked fine, there were no crashes with games / programs that day. The next day, I booted up my PC to realize that the Start Menu does not open. The OS was also EXTREMELY slow, so I had to refresh my PC (as in keep the files and reinstall Windows), fix Steam via admin privileges, Find graphics drivers from the internet that matched my PC, and now I'm here.
I know it won't be for another 4 years, but what will happen when the time comes? Will we be forced to accept an operating system designed for the technologically illiterate?
You'll just have to hope that by some miracle the Linux community gets their act together and produces a usable OS in the next 4 years.

Yup no usable Linux based OS in mass usage those don't exists not like there is a large quantities of servers running Redhat/debian.
If you don't consider any Linux Distro usable right now they are never going to be usable for you. The mentality is different Linux Distros are not trying to be windows.
This also gets into that a bit while being a bit old and some of this does not apply quite as much anymore.
Until WINE can run all my games/applications (Solidworks is a big one) I'd want and it doesn't have a huge overhead and it's stable is when I switch to Linux. Unfortunately I will never see this happen. And it's not like I can duel boot either because I run some programs 24/7 that run stable and natively on Windows. Not to mention having to restart to switch OS's to play a certain game/run a certain application is a big pain in the ass.
Alright, here's a fun scenario. Even with Windows 8.1, actually- Windows 10 makes it worse, in fact. I'm in the middle of work. I have like 5 visual studio's open, Outlook E-mails I'm drafting, a few editpad documents with notes I've made about testing scenarios, a few instances of our own software, pgadmin open to our databases for verification of data. Things are going well, or not- whatever. I'm busy, at any rate.
Then I get the prompt that Windows will restart to finish installing important updates.
You know what's even funner? When I'm typing when that prompt appears. And I press enter.
You know, the one that directly translates to "Restart Now"? Spectacular.
So now the system has restarted and I have to figure out what the heck I was doing before. Huge waste of time.
What's weird is that is with a system set to "Download updates, but let me choose when to install them" because as it turns out Microsoft can already override user settings anyway and force a system to install any update they please, or something. Something also keeps turning Windows firewall back on.
It seems like Windows 10 doesn't really make this a whole lot better; updates appear to be set such that it will try to find a time when the system isn't often used to do the update, but that doesn't mean there is nothing you want to keep. I keep all sorts of programs and browser tabs open that I switch between, or keep running in the background. So I mean updating when nobody is using the computer works but only with quite a few assumptions. What if I have a notepad document where I jotted down some notes, but didn't save it? It's gone. Automatic updates are as disruptive to me as a power outage, basically.
Fully agree with you on this. Two things to note though, I set Windows Update to the 'Check but don't download' option and left it like that for a good year without installing updates (naughty), not once did Windows ask me to update or restart. Also, in relation to notepad, get Sublime Text, even if it's only for taking notes. It saves unsaved notes exactly as you left them when the program is closed (not sure if it works in a loss of power situation though) and restores them when opened again. Very handy.
Still waiting for option to upgrade on tablet ..PC still dismantled, no idea if W10 is available on that.
If you don't consider any Linux Distro usable right now they are never going to be usable for you.
I use my computer for things other than programming, server administration, and casual use, ergo I can't feasibly use Linux for my day-to-day tasks. "Never going to be usable" it is then, I suppose.
Also, in relation to notepad, get Sublime Text, even if it's only for taking notes. It saves unsaved notes exactly as you left them when the program is closed (not sure if it works in a loss of power situation though) and restores them when opened again.

Notepad++ also does this.
Was not exactly sure why you felt it was unusable but some people talk as if just one year someone is going to make it just like Windows and then everyone will jump ship. One of the best IDE only exists in full on windows so even most people who program tend to gravitate towards windows it seems there is really nothing magical about programming on Linux not quite sure how it got the stereotype of programmers OS.
Linux is not a competing product from a competing company trying to best Microsoft at making a Windows operating system. It is really only some end users the developers behind the OS feel they have won and are accomplishing their goals.
Fully
agree with you on this. Two things to note though, I set Windows Update
to the 'Check but don't download' option and left it like that for a
good year without installing updates (naughty), not once did Windows ask
me to update or restart.
That is kind of what I was expecting to happen, really- it would download, but ask me when to install them. I guess the setting is really "Download
updates, and tell me when you want to install them"
Also, in relation to notepad, get Sublime Text, even if it's only for
taking notes. It saves unsaved notes exactly as you left them when the
program is closed (not sure if it works in a loss of power situation
though) and restores them when opened again. Very handy.
Mostly I use it for recording which Work Orders I dealt with because once I close them they disappear from my schedule, but I need to enter them into our ancient time tracking system. I'm usually able to figure out what they were. I use Notepad for that but my main Editor is Editpad Pro. Sublime isn't free on Windows and I don't plan to pay for two text editors, that would be weird. (It can be configured to do something similar). The main issue with the unexpected restarts is all the programs I was using are closed.
It's very disillusioning, Windows 10. It is the first Windows OS that I see incredibly negatively and see zero positive aspects in. From a development aspect I do not like the focus on Modern UI programs, which they now call "Universal Apps" Because apparently running on Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 on tablets covers every single possible OS. This is compounded by the fact that their "new strategy" has ****-poor tools. Windows Forms has been dead for a while, of course, but WPF is now being shelved basically; Desktop applications are being 'replaced' by Modern UI/Universal Apps, throwing out a few decades of work and useful information. The controls available with Universal apps are limited and you basically need to create your own basic components like List Views. Unfortunately, Universal/Modern UI Applications literally cannot use any third-party libraries. Considering our stuff uses Libraries to access the 30+ year old Mainframe system via it's own protocol as well as libraries like Postgres, that's a bit of a problem. The design is basically that you would have a web service, and then your "Apps" would connect to the web service for information, presumably the service would spit out XML or something. We don't need another background program running on the servers we maintain!
That also doesn't cover the lack of customization, lack of privacy controls, and all-around webbiness of Windows 10. The Web is over a decade behind Desktop applications in terms of capabilities and power. That's fine- because hey, websites are accessed anywhere. Porting those same limitations into a framework that will ONLY work on Windows is downright stupid.
It will be interesting to see if people will boycott Windows 10 the same way they did to Windows 8. From what I've seen so far, the reactions are 50/50. This begs the question: are "old school" windows users being too homophobic?
In my opinion, it looks like Microsoft did their best to answer people's complaints while maintaining a good amount (if not all) of focus on "universal apps". What more could we want? At the same time, I'm thinking, this new interface isn't helping mouse and keyboard users. It would be nice if they could simply make an updated version of Windows 7.
Anyway, I think it's a little to early to jump on the hate bus. Let's give it some time and see if there are any improvements.

The ISO is only useful if you have a Windows 10 key as a Windows 8.1/8/7 key will not work with Windows 10 activation.
Whatever Windows 7/8/8.1 key you have right now you have to install the operating system, activate it (very important step right here), then use Microsoft's media tool to download/update to Windows 10.
Just got an email notification thingy from Microsoft.
