a functional desktop and start button. Most of our staff has Windows 8.1 but I’ve held off putting Windows 8.1 on the patron machines because I didn’t want the front line staff to have to field so many questions about the new interface. I think Windows 10
will largely remove that worry. It has a enough of a familiar feel to Windows 7 and previous versions that we could upgrade with enough confidence our community won’t rebel against it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I haven't participated in the beta, but this is one of the first times I've been excited by a Microsoft product in a decade, haha. My personal plan is to wait for about 3 months after release so some of the inevitable launch bugs can be
quashed. Then I'll play around with it a little and test Deep Freeze, our cataloging stuff, etc. We're predominantly Windows 7 here, though I've been running 8.1 because it came with a few of the computers. I'm certainly curious to hear any other opinions
on it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"">Good morning,<br>
<br>
How many of you have been beta testing Windows 10? What do you think? With the roll out for Windows 10 scheduled for July 29, are any libraries seriously considering the one year free upgrade?<br>
<br>
At Loudonville we are still running Windows 7, but we are looking at some sweeping changes over the next couple of years. Will the required public environment lock downs make Windows 10 no fun? Patrons yelling, "Hey Cortana" is obviously not an option. Free
age appropriate apps for kids would be great. Anyone already integrating touch screen monitors for public use?<br>
<br>
Lets talk about it,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
