We use Windows 10 for Education on staff and some student PCs at work. An Atom processor based small form factor PC with 2Gb of RAM is running Windows 10 for Education much more smoothly than it ran the previous Windows 7 install.
No speed demon, but usable. Switching between Outlook, MSIE, a couple of Office 2010 applications, perhaps OpenOffice for conversion, and the interactive whiteboard software does result in some swapping and time for pages to load back into working memory but I guess this is saving us the cost of a client hardware refresh on something like 500 to 700 screens for another few years.
The only thing I don't like is that strange effect when you are typing text into a window (e.g. Word or Outlook email message) when the appearance of the character on the screen tries to simulate a typewriter so it appears then the cursor slides across to the next space for a character.
- newjersey 11y agoIf your apps don't work on edge, could you please give them a heads up? It would be nice if we all moved on from msie were possible.
- keithpeter 11y agoWe don't have edge web browser. I assumed that was a Windows 10 for Education thing, or perhaps policy has been set by local admin.
- copperx 11y agoI actually love that smooth animation and miss it on the OS X version of office. However, it's not a typewriter effect -- a typewriter, if you have never used one, stamps letters on a piece of paper immediately. There's nothing smooth about it. Also, you can disable the effect in the Preferences window.
- keithpeter 11y agoI'll see if we users have the needed admin rights to switch off the effect. It drives me nuts on this fairly low spec machine. By 'typewritter effect' I meant the actual taking of time to move to next typing position.
- emddudley 11y agoYou can disable the typing animation in Office 2013 via a registry hack. http://m.winsupersite.com/article/office-2013-beta2/office-2013-tip-disable-animations-143779 http://m.winsupersite.com/article/office-2013-beta2/office-2...
- keithpeter 11y agoI can't. My work PC is a client in a large network and registry access is not available. Please all devs: UI choices are important for end users.
