[AT] OT-Windows 10

[Stephen Offiler]

With all due respect to MikeM, I kinda agree with Jason here.  Win10 is
really not that big a deal. Every few years I have to get a new desktop at
work, because I run Solidworks, and every new release adds bells and
whistles that take additional horsepower and support only the most modern
OS.  So my "new" machine (about 18 months old) had to be Win10.  The user
interface is pretty similar to Win7.  There's a Start button in the lower
left corner, and it brings up a list of installed software, just like
Windows has been doing since Win95.  I recall no frustration and little to
no learning curve.  But it was set up by an IT guy and possibly without
realizing it I am actually running some kind of shell that makes it look
and act this way.
