Windows 10 S is half-baked. It's not ready for me. It's not ready for you. And it's not ready for anyone. Not yet.
Microsoft has a bold vision of moving desktop users to a world that revovles around the Windows Store and if you are not paying close attention, the company's goal of a future free of classic desktop applications is quietly materializing.
