The new Windows has been getting mixed reviews.
Any (relevant) thoughts?

In theory, based on the 'one good, then one bad' thing Macrocruft do, it should be good. Well, as good as an operating system that has a core with it's roots in mid 1980's tech can be in this day and age. I'm sure people will love it or something.

True, you're not far off, but the majority of that is on the name I'm sure. To throw in some more weight my 4 year old Pro with half the RAM and ~9 month old Air are also quicker. That said, the Air is PCIe-based rather than whatever the spinning ones are called.
The point is an out of date 6 year old laptop shouldn't be running quicker than a brand new laptop with the latest OS, regardless of cost. I would like to think the Intel Core 2 processor (in the 6 year old) would be spanked by the latest Celeron as well.
I'm sure, I hope, @indigolemon can lend some support to this hypothesis, though.
Anyway, I don't like Windows 10. It's pretty gross.
