It's a tradition at Microsoft: Successful Windows versions alternate with failures.
This was the case when switching from Windows XP to Windows Vista or, more recently, from Windows 7 to the current Windows 8, which can be described as a real failure in terms of desktop use.
As a result, the latest Windows version, which has been available to download free of charge as a Technical Preview since September 30, 2014, should once again be completely convincing.
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.
Wobei das Startmenü längst nicht die einzige Optimierung für den Desktop-Betrieb ist, die das neue Windows 10 mit sich bringt: Da wäre zum Beispiel die sogenannte „Task View“ zu nennen, über die sich vor allem Multitasking-Freunde freuen dürften. Die besagte Task-View-Funktion erlaubt es, für jedes Vorhaben einen virtuellen Desktop mit eigenen Programmverknüpfungen anzulegen. In Hinsicht auf das Multitasking ist auch gleich zu erwähnen, dass das Windows 10 im Gegensatz zur aktuellen Version nicht mehr zwischen Apps und Computerprogrammen im eigentlichen Sinn unterscheidet, sodass sie endlich parallel genutzt werden können.
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, Windows 10 focuses 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
Even if it is still too early for a final verdict, the current technical preview already gives an indication that Windows 10 will surpass all previous Windows versions by far in terms of usability, functionality and stability.
