From a technical standpoint, DX12 is a considerable improvement. It makes much better use of the computer's resources. From a programming standpoint, it's also very interesting, reminiscent of OpenCL and AMD's Mantel.

And there's a start button with a proper desktop. Thank Christ.

Window 8 was designed around tablet and phone interfaces that focus on maximizing consumption of screen real-estate for single programs. Thus, Windows had to go, and everything had to be consolidated into one window at a time.

Well - you could kinda-sorta break away from the Metro UI on the PC... but... meh

At least they seemed to build a proper UI this time around.

What there's a windows 10? Wtf I'm still on windows 7 XD
A bunch of third party programs are set to look up "win9" in their code, from what I understand. So, for backward compatibility purposes, they decided to skip Windows 9 and simply go with Windows 10.

Window 8 was a disaster from a desktop perspective, and only marginally successful from a mobile perspective (largely because Microsoft was attempting to break into a market rather than create a new or expanded one).

It forces updates, my internet can't handle that plus I don't like waiting for them to install. So I ain't even upgrading until that's fixed.
