Windows 10 Beta

[bigseb]

Anyone tried Geomagic on the Windows 10 Beta yet?

I haven't downloaded it myself. From what I have read though it is very buggy (expected) and a revamped version of 8.1. Same kernel and all.

I've had a play with win10 and really like it. Haven't tried GD with it though.

I'm neither foggy nor old but I too shall stay with Windows 7 for the time being. The W10 beta isn't really breaking new ground from what I have read. I'll wait and see how the official release looks...

So far what "bugginess" there is, is more due to missing features (Metro related) than anything with the base kernel (at least, that's what I'm seeing so far). I went the unnatural route and did it as an upgrade and not a clean install. So far, no issues, but haven't had a need to use GD, yet. I'll see about playing with it tonight and let y'all know how it goes.

First blush, no issues for me here. Played around with an assembly of approx. 80 parts. Overall, not too shabby.

Ah, but are they still trying to turn a computer into a "smart phone?

If it is like W8.1 you just need to delete all the so-called "apps".
Then you have a computer again and not a "tab", "pad", "pod" or "smart" phone.

To me that sounds like this: its like Windows 7 only with extra work to set it up properly...

There's the option to boot desktop-- which you could also do in 8/8.1 using Classic Shell. But I digress.

Assuming my wife doesn't have a honey-do list for me when I get home, I'll see about some screen shots.

Luckily, I'm using this Slate-- which was a computer to begin with...

Could it be 7 winding up as the next XP. Look at the number of XP's still use today. I think Windows 7 will follow the same course.

I think so too. It is very popular.
