Tom Warren, opening his Windows 10 review on The Verge:
Windows has a cycle. Windows XP saved us from Windows ME, Windows 7 saved us from the Windows Vista mess, now Windows 10 is here to save save us from Windows 8.
It’s nice to be on the good part of the cycle.
I’ve been playing with the pre-release versions of Windows 10 on and off for a while now, and I like what I’ve seen. Microsoft has reigned in some of the insanity of Windows 8, and the whole thing feels faster and more modern than its predecessor ever did.
