A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on November 17, 2014.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Terry Myerson compared the technological differences between Windows 10 and 7 to the differences between a Tesla and a first-generation Prius?

Current status: Good article

Overview is way too lengthy (reprise)

Overview is way too lengthy and wordy in comparison with older Windows articles. Condense the critical reception in the overview; it's covered in depth below.

Lead must cover all key points. See WP:LEAD. ViperSnake151 Talk 16:39, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(unarchived) What reliable and uninvolved sources have determined that those are indeed the key points? Currently I see a lot of trivia without even one reference ("Task View" and "support for fingerprint and face recognition login", really?). Large parts of the topic go without summary (coincidentally, they seem to be the parts with strongest sources, like The Guardian). --Nemo 05:41, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
