Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

Yes, pseudo-3D effects should be used for temporary 'floating' objects, for which 3D makes sense, like pop-up menus for the pen, or spell-checking, or something requiring immediate attention. By placing shadowing and 3D effects on everything, it is LIKE TYPING IN ALL CAPS. IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO RECOGNIZE WHAT IS IMPORTANT. ALL BECOMES NOISE.

WHAT!
GETTING MY GREEN SCREEN MONITOR OUT... it's really all you need, should appeal strongly to the minimalists.

Windows 10 Build 9926 is getting kinda old, but not stale. Performance remains nice and solid. I've learned to trust that the programs and apps will not crash, which allows for some of my more creative tasks. Brings lots of value to the Surface Pro 3 platform.

I'll just have to settle for a different desktop background.

Off topic - maybe yes, maybe no:

A 30 year old member of the Windows team was hit, and killed, by a drunk driver this week. This MIGHT have contributed to the delay in releasing another build.

I read that story a few days ago. Mike Ey was working on Microsoft's HoloLens, their Augmented Reality headset. Very sad. Not involved with Windows 10 from what I read

I was aware of that Gary, just thought his death may have affected more than "his team"...who knows...like you said - very sad.

You knew it was coming.

Good news: Windows 10 apparently handles files from the future without problem.
Bad news: Might still be on Build 9926 - 84 years, 9 months, and 1 day from now.

Add any program to Desktop right-click example using Windows 10 posted here. Might be particularly useful to Windows 10 users.
