Microsoft Attempts To Clarify the Windows 10 For Everyone Rumor
Ammalgam writes: Over the weekend, Microsoft caused a web explosion by seeming to imply that they were going to relax their licensing rules and offer Windows 10 for free to everyone. This caused an uproar of controversy online that Microsoft had to address. The company issued a statement in an attempt to clarify the Windows 10 licensing situation. The language is still a little confusing so on Windows10update.com, Onuora Amobi tries to simplify the language and sort out the distinction between users on the Windows Insider Program and non Windows Insiders.
I have a licensed copy of Windows 7. Will I retain all the rights and accesses I have with this copy when upgrading to the Windows 10 license?
It is a very simple question. You may choose to answer "yes" or "no". No buts, no ifs, no legalese bullshit. There are two legit answers to this question and no others are accepted as valid input.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
You can't rearrange the items on the menu; it's all alphabetical.
You can still pin items, in the tile area. They can be rearranged not only vertically (like in Windows 7) but also horizontally now.
The text in "All Apps" section is huge and absurdly widely-spaced, making even a short list of apps go on forever.
If you click on the headers (0-9, A, B, C, etc.) it will zoom out to show the full list of headers, and clicking on one can take you straight to that section.
Even if you remove all the live tiles, the menu still takes up a huge amount of space.
Incorrect. If you remove all live tiles, you can collapse the Start menu to a much smaller space than the Windows 7 Start menu. Or make it any size all the way up to full screen. Your choice.
