    Microsoft is hoping that the 1.5 billion Windows users around the world will welcome the upcoming release of Windows 10 and forgive the company’s previously questionable choices about changing the Windows Start menu in Windows 8.

    Microsoft revealed more detail than ever before in a Windows 10 briefing today and the news is promising. Last year, Microsoft announced that Windows 10 will not only see the return of a more familiar Start menu on the Windows desktop, but that the new OS will have added security for enterprise customers as well as one platform and one app store for all devices from smartphones, tablets, phablets, laptops, desktops and even the Xbox One.

    But no under the hood changes? Like explorer.exe finally having full support for file paths longer than 255 characters so I don't have to use Totalcommander for deeply nested files/folders?
    Explorer always able to say what program has access to a file to it can't delete/move/copy/rename it?


    Hard drive SMART status available in Computer/Disk Management? Battery wear info and Voltage available in Control Panel -> Power Options?
    Adjustable IO priorities in Task Manager?

    Probably not, so it seems win10 is just new graphical stuff for the most part.
