I've been happy with 10 since it first came out. 8.0, on the other hand, was barely usable (multiple people had asked me 'how do you turn off the computer now'..).
The power button works (causing Windows to do an orderly shutdown).

Windows 8 had one of the best quotes I've ever read in a review associated with it, and perfectly summed up how I felt about it. I can't find the original review, but here's some paraphrasing: "Let's assume you are an expert in Mac OS X, and fully understand its interface. Let's also assume you are also an expert in Windows 7, and fully understand 7's interface. Despite being an expert in the leading current interfaces of the day, you will have NO IDEA how to get anything done in Windows 8."
Sure. The problem is the part where it's actually harder to find things without the search bar than it was in Windows 95.
But that's an improvement. That's not a fault of Windows 10, it's a fault of Windows 95 not having that feature. That's a GOOD feature. It's way, way faster to type what you want to launch than to go hunting for it.
How does Windows 10's search-as-you-type functionality really improve on the one in Windows 7?

Like you guys I find the text search much easier and faster than crawling through the menus, so I use it constantly in both systems (7 at home, 10 at work), and I can't really think of anything that makes it noticeably better or more useful in 10. *shrugs*
It's identical, actually. The comparison, I thought, was to Windows 8 and earlier.
In other words: CLI is better than GUI.It's way, way faster to type what you want to launch than to go hunting for it.
