Our five-year old desktop is still running Windows 7 and what a good operating system that is, OK Internet Explorer 11 isn't fully compliant with HTML 5 and so certain web sites don't display correctly but I'm happy to flip between IE and Chrome - no sure why I don't commit to Chrome and forget IE.

My new laptop arrived with Win 8.1 which is a dogs breakfast with side menus appearing out of nowhere and refusing to close, Apps opening but no apparent way to close them and I struggle to find my usual programs. As the laptop isn't essential to my daily computing (I love the desktop but my Samsung tablet and phone will meet my daily activities so the laptop is a non-essential luxury) I was more than happy to upgrade to Win10. It isn't earth shatteringly good but it isn't awful; it's better than 8.1 and I'm left wondering what it can do that Win7 cannot do? Oh yes it works across tablets, phones, touch screens, PCs and laptops but seeing as I use Android on all my mobile touch screen devices I don't need Win10.

So what should it do? It should find network devices like printers and network attached drives automatically, configure them and use them as default - does it do that? No it doesn't so whatever happened to plug and play? Who knows but I think Win10 proves that Microsoft are still on the back foot and have lost the plot. Given time I might change my view and if I do I'll let you know.

If you have a view please share it with me, I'd like to hear.
