To go from tablet mode to desktop.
Without tile!
1: Swipe in from right, press icon for destop/PC mode. That's 2 actions.
With tile:
1: 1 touch. 1 ACTION! (And no one at microsoft is gonna die from that tile being there)
Problem with that. The tile on a desktop still means you have to get TO the desktop before you can change modes.
So, with tile:
1. Minimize all apps to show desktop.
2. Touch the tile.
Sorry, the toggle in Action Center is still easier to work. Is it an ideal solution? I doubt there is an ideal solution.
lot of people are complaining that tablet mode just isn't good. The fact is, tablet mode is still unfinished. Microsoft deemed it "good enough" to work and therefore sent the update out for Windows 10 so they could get Windows 10 on devices in time for back-to-school. Was that a good idea? I don't know. Only time will tell.
Tablet mode will improve over time, as will all of Windows 10. Welcome to Windows as a Service. As an Operating System, Windows 10 will never be finished. They will always be tinkering with it, making changes, trying to make it better. No more having to wait for the next OS to get a new set of features or a feature fixed to work the way it should have to start with. Once you've got Windows 10, you've got Windows 10. It will always evolve, improve, and change.
Not 100% of everyone will ever like everything an OS has to offer. That's why there are choices of OS on the market. Windows is the biggest in the market, but there are a LOT of choices. Mac OS/X, Linux, BeOS, SunOS, OpenBSD, eComStation, ReactOS, Syllable, SkyOS. There are enough versions and variations of Linux alone to satisfy most people.
Personally, I really like Windows 10. Are there problems? Yes. Are there issues with how things work? I'd say there are a few. However, for the first time in the history of Windows, I actually have faith that Microsoft is going to work on fixing all those issues and make it the best OS that has ever existed and everything I want it to be.
For the first time, Microsoft is listening to user feedback. They have been making changes and implementing features based on what people who USE Windows have given in feedback.
Hey, just because Microsoft said no to your idea or the way you want it, doesn't mean they aren't listening to feedback. Problem is, there were way more people wanting it different than how you wanted it. It's like a mother of 10 children is about to bake a batch of cookies. 8 want chocolate chip, and 2 want oatmeal raisin. Guess what. Mom makes chocolate chip cookies, and 2 of her kids start whining for the next 3 days that they didn't get oatmeal raisin. That's life, and life is hard sometimes. We have to learn sometimes to live the way the majority of other humans live.
Also, just because an idea isn't implemented doesn't mean it WON'T be implemented. Many ideas are being re-written from scratch. You complain, "Yeah, but my idea wouldn't have been that hard to put in." Hey, there are so many ideas to work on, they have to decide on priority. First priority was to make it WORK without crashing and burning. That's easier said than done.
No matter how simple you think an idea is to implement, there is always
something it will conflict with and a bug somewhere else it will cause. If you've never been a professional programmer on a really large project like an Operating System, then you've got no right to complain and say they should have done it faster, because you just don't know what you're talking about. I've written an Operating System. I've designed a computer system and designed the CPU to drive it. Granted, that was a long time ago, but I'll never forget the challenges those things present and how much more difficult it can be to accomplish than anyone that's never tried it can even imagine.
Yes, it will take time. We will get there. We will also never completely be at the end of the changes needing to be made, because with Windows as a Service, it will continue to evolve for as long as Windows exists.
