I'm probably a bit late to the party on this one, but I finally got round to building a new server with a view to having a more VM-orientated setup. To this end I got a Dell T20, 32Gb of non-ECC ram (for £99!) and a 500Gb Samsung SSD. Installed Windows 2012 R2 Server and VMWare Workstation Pro 12 with a view to this being a clean, base OS on which to host VMs.
First VM was a Windows 10 one which was to be my day to day Email, browsing, torrent, general day to day box, and this is where the problems began. What an absolute utter load of tulipe this OS is, or rather, the GUI is. All the fonts are massive and blurred, everything is monochrome and looks like it was designed for a six year old, can't be changed, I honestly can't work with it. It's worse than Windows 3.1.
What have others done? Got used to it? Gone back to W7 or another OS? Am very tempted to just stand up a Windows 7 one again as I could use that, I've not got the time to learn Ubuntu or whatever. :/
Interested in any pointers or what others VM setup is.
