Windows 10 or OS X? A Mac User Falls For the PC Again. With a simpler interface and new features, Microsoft’s Windows is more like Apple’s OS X than ever before

The Wall Street Journal reports:
After unsuccessfully zigging for the past few years with Windows 8—which awkwardly layered a touch interface over old-school Windows—Microsoft has zagged back to the desktop it knows best with Windows 10.

Available starting Wednesday as a free upgrade on Windows 7 and 8 PCs, it takes the traditional underpinnings and spruces them up with a modern design, a helpful personal assistant and better windows-management tools. Unlike Windows 8, it stays out of your way, just letting you do what you need to do better. It’s what Windows should be in 2015.
Windows 10 gets a positive review.
