OT: Windows 10
Posted: Sat Aug 01, 2015 8:37 pm
I have been a fan of Windows 10 for many months. As a developer, though, there is one feature that I absolutely love - Virtual Desktops
I use dual monitors, but when tracking email, newsgroups, and other media, there isn't room for my programming items to also display. I have my editor, builder, and notes all open, but these eyes also want them in larger display sizes to see ... so that means "minimizing" many programs.
Now with the Tasks display option, I've place all my communications programs open across two monitors in Desktop 1. In a 2nd desktop, I have all my programming tools open across both monitors. A simple click between desktop one and two gives me all of the programs for each task, fully open and running, instantly.
I started this Off Topic thread so others can also share their experiences with Windows 10. I now have it installed on 5 devices, all running productively. They are: Windows Phone ( Lumia 929 ), HP 8" tablet, Microsoft Surface Pro 3, Dell Tower ( with the dual monitors ), and a Samsung All In One. All are networked ( very easily ) together, are fast, and have demonstrated no operational problems.
What have you found that is new and helpful ?
