In fact, anyone who learned how to use Windows 95 when it came out should have no problem running Windows 10 today. However, “modern” apps are now opened, resized and closed in exactly the same way as traditional programs and they work perfectly well with mice, so why complain about them? It’s not a fundamental change like the one from character-based MS-DOS to graphical Windows. Tens of millions of us are already using Windows 10 devices with touchscreens and we may well become the majority.
There’s an old API for traditional programs run with a mouse, and a new one for finger-friendly apps that work on touchscreen tablets and convertibles. The one thing you have to accept is that Windows 10, like Windows 8, has two applications programming interfaces, and both are required to meet the needs of a changing world. I’m therefore accepting FlintyMcQwerty’s invitation to explain a few of them. I can’t do anything about the more hysterical complaints but many issues can be resolved by spending a few minutes in the settings app. Last week’s answer provoked a lot of discussion about Windows 10. (Apologies, Jack, for my ineluctable tendency to alliterate.)
