i dont see much difference except different placement of where things are in the menu

wont be much help in a preveiw as its a preveiw and no1 knows the outcome of an unfinished os

this is why only now are they working on updates to 10

with the right knowhow you can make windows 10 start menu look like the one you showed us though,although i saw minimal change

if im not mistaken the settings menu alone has a turn on off feature for some if not all the things in the startmenu alone just a click off and it can be cleaned up to how you like

perhaps there is a purpose you want the server for but i honestly dont see it.i thought those are mainly for commercial advantages

i may be a windows fanboy somewhat but eh ive beta windows 10 and its full now and honestly i think its the best os,once you learn how to do things.it does come with a get started guide.you can start from there or forum suggestions

deskscapes works in 10,if you dont use task view button or command for now.thats the best insight i can give you

somethings wrong with your computer then as i didnt have to add extra codecs and i run deskscapes flawless,as long as i dont use task view.also you are aware the server ones for a liscence is like 3000 dollars right? its meant for server admins,not normal everyday joes

most of your complaints can also be turned off easy ie still exists cortana can be shut off and hidden if you choose and if you unpin all the modernmix things on the screen the start menu reverts back to classic,or you can just use a third party.

also i dont think stardock has plans to update their apps to work with server system.im pretty sure its scripted even more different,and stardock usually sticks to main oses as does many people out there in this world
