Aaaaand I just rolled back my tablet from 10 to 8.1. The 'tablet mode' is absolute trash. Edge has little to no concessions to tablet usage compared to IE 11: no gestures, the UI controls are hard to hit with finger taps, etc. Battery life was worse, performance was awful, really disappointing. The most annoying part was getting double notifications for Twitter, so I uninstalled the app.

For some reason, it didn't actually uninstall properly, and it left a weird entry in the Notifications panel that was Microsoft.Explorer.Notification{a GUID}. Reinstalling the app not only didn't fix it, but didn't add a Twitter entry, and somehow my Twitter app settings had persisted, leading me to believe that it didn't uninstall properly.

I could've tried a reset, but that removes the ability to rollback to 8.1, and I'm just not ready to make that leap. I'm sure my experience is not the majority's, and I've heard good things about it on the desktop, but that's my story :saddowns:

Tablet: HP Stream 7.

Also, what person decided that tablet mode required a taskbar at all times because holy poo poo.

I get that the general public reaction to 8 was 'Too much tablet' but this is way, way too far in the other direction.
