Rome – The launch of Windows 10 was a success, at least according to Microsoft argues that talk of “unprecedented demand” to 24 hours from the start of the distribution of the final version of the new system. A system that, according to many observers, including Mozilla, complicates the exercise of the free will of users.
Windows 10 has already been installed on 14 million computers, Microsoft says, that number essentially includes 5 million testers program Insider and 9 million early adopters that have chosen not to wait to see first hand the new operating system “universal” for PC, tablet and everything.
user feedback have been extremely positive so far, Microsoft says, while the arrival of the physical version of Windows 10 in stores around the world has been accompanied by “party” and various collective selfie megastore in more or less crowded.
Reaction to Microsoft’s part, the upgrade to Windows 10 was not exactly painless for everyone: the most common problems faced by early adopters include installation procedures extremely long box with error messages surreal (“ something happened “) and more. Humor has also created the “gem” of the new Solitaire that fresh anniversary, has been transformed into freemium app, with advertising deactivated paying the modest sum of $ 1.49 per month.
Windows 10 will also be the best Windows ever, as some claim, but already is stressed by many as the new OS is designed to be nothing short of hostile to privacy: mechanisms phone-homing and profiling for advertising, and the settings to be changed to disable these functions suscinato critichre, not to mention the new distribution mechanism P2P updates – so users participate in the sharing of patch other users of Windows 10 – enabled by default.
Apparently even Mozilla has welcomed the emphasis of Windows 10, with CEO Chris Beard who complained in particular of the new mechanism to modify applications system default : To change the default browser (such as Firefox Edge) must now explicitly change a setting of the OS, complaint Beard, a pop-up installation is no longer enough.
Microsoft, for its part, argues that everything is okay: the most of the corporation will change things in the course of work on a “Windows as a service” in constant development.
The work on Windows 10 will continue uninterrupted for the coming weeks and months, Microsoft promises, and after just 24 hours has already started talking about the new update packages for the OS: a first “Service Release 1 (SR1)” should arrive in August with several bug fixes and corrections here and there, and a subsequent update (in October) will include some news for the universal app and support for extensions on Edge. An update / upgrade even more substantial, part of the wave of updates Redstone, is also expected to arrive in 2016.
