The knock on Windows 8 was that Microsoft got way out in front of it’s desktop user base. Now it seems the company is trying to fix that with Windows 10, a much more desktop friendly system. With Windows 10, users can run any app on the desktop, even Windows 8 apps that were originally designed for touch. Before, those apps kicked you into a tablet type full-screen mode, which was difficult to operate with a mouse and keyboard. You can run Windows 8 apps next to older Windows 7 apps. Most importantly the Start menu is back. It looks very similar to what you’re used to seeing in Windows 7, but includes the popular Live Tiles from Windows 8. Business Insider
