I use google now on my phone. It's soooo far from being real time it's
insane. I just don't use it because it will feed me info that is
yesterday's weather, articles that trended last week. It's useful if it's
not timely. Also, IT decides what it feeds me. With a live tile, I
pin/unpin my interests. Google just suggests crap and more often than not,
I don't want what they are suggesting.

Google Now beats the crap out of tiles imho. But I just figured out that
if I unpin all the tiles I can resize the start menu to delete that waste
of space.
Now If I can get the all apps section to go in it's place I might not hate
it.

I use the tiles for things I am not going to go open a page for. Weather,
headlines etc. I don't have to go to the full web page because I was
already going to start for something else and got a quick update. It's
more efficient for me. I wouldn't have thought to go see the information
that I use it for but now I have it. If it is that important, I just click
the tile and it gives me more info.

The tiles are stupid. They only make sense as live tiles showing web
information. And as I said I already have a browser.open.all.the.time.
Why would I go to start to go back to the browser I was just in? And so if
they are for static applications they jsut take up to much space.

Go to all apps. It took me a while to get used to but I really do like
it. Your tiles are your most frequently used. You can change it to what
ever you like and group them differently.

Half of the start menu is live tiles full of things I get in on the
web. It's jsut a scam to get me to use the shitty MS Browser and
services.
And trying to find something in the all app view is just annoying.
Maybe it's the letters like I don't know how the alphabet works or
something. I like normal folder structure, it works. It's why I spend
most of my windows time in file explorer.

What is it that you don't like about the start menu? What was more

So got 10 running on gaming pc this weekend. Fresh installed after
it activated. The new nvidia win10 drivers seem to work for me in sli
np.
My sound is still dead so I ordered a xonar card (and not a new mobo/cpu
combo like I came close to doing).
Con's so far;
Cortana is worthless. It's bing desktop search, so it barely
works.. File Explorer search is faster and actually finds things.
Still tons of fighting stupid little "We know best" crap like auto
reboots.
The new MS Browser the HMS Shittastic!
Tons of MS bloatware BS. MS Fitness, MS News, MS Get Office now
(even though you already ahve office isntalled).
I still don't like the new start menu. It's far better than 8, but
still less useful than 7.
When creating new install Media the langue defaults to Chechen (I
think). Not really MS's fault, but be warned if you create a Chechen
install USB you cannot change it to English during the install.
Pro's;
MS seems to have pulled video drivers from autoupdate. I got "basic
MS Video Driver" that never updated. I could install the Geforce
experience for Win10 and then drivers from that with no problems. half
a
dozen reboots and a few check for updates and MS never tried to F me.
Almost all my other drivers installed with windows. Really the
install media process self updates so I had everything up to date on the
first boot almost. It was only missing my sound driver and the software
portions of my network/BT/Sata drivers. All of that and my Chipset,
intel
video and even my addon extra USB3 card worked fine on the first boot.
