Quick overview:
Bei Microsoft hat es Tradition: Erfolgreiche Windows-Versionen wechseln sich mit Fehlschlägen ab.
So war es beim Umstieg von Windows XP auf Windows Vista oder jüngst von Windows 7 auf das aktuelle Windows 8, das in Sachen Desktop-Nutzung als echter Misserfolg bezeichnet werden darf.
Demzufolge müsste die neuste Windows-Version, die seit dem 30. September 2014 bereits als Technical Preview kostenlos heruntergeladen werden kann, eigentlich wieder vollends überzeugen.
How does Windows 10 perform in desktop mode?
Probably the biggest criticism of Windows 8 is the completely redesigned user interface, which is extremely practical when using devices with touchscreens, but makes it more difficult to use on desktop PCs. It is therefore all the more pleasing that, despite the current technology trend, the new Windows once again has the tried-and-tested Start menu, which makes operation via keyboard and mouse much easier.
However, the Start menu is by no means the only optimization for desktop operation that the new Windows 10 brings with it: For example, there is the so-called "Task View", which multitasking fans in particular should be pleased about. The Task View function allows you to create a virtual desktop with its own program shortcuts for each task. With regard to multitasking, it is also worth mentioning that, unlike the current version, Windows 10 no longer differentiates between apps and computer programs in the true sense of the word, meaning that they can finally be used in parallel.
It should also be noted that the window display has been revised so that the display size of apps can be freely adjusted.

The greatest strengths of Windows 10
As the task view function in the taskbar alone makes clear, one focus of Windows 10 is on user-defined individualization. In addition, collaboration with other devices, whether other desktop PCs or smartphones and tablets, should be even easier than before.
The Technical Preview makes a promising impression
Although it is still too early to make a final judgment, the current Technical Preview already suggests that Windows 10 will far surpass all previous versions of Windows in terms of usability, functionality and stability.
