For the last month or so, I've been running an ongoing experiment: Seeing how long I can use Windows 10 (and only Windows 10) before I give up and go back to my Mac.

So far, so good.

Here are the apps, tools, and utilities I've found to be most useful in making the Mac-to-Windows transition just a little easier.

It's worth noting that most of these are actually Windows 7 or 8 apps that run just fine in Windows 10 - Microsoft's Windows Store still hasn't really taken off.

And if you have suggestions for any Windows apps that do the job better than what I'm listing here, send them to me. This is an ongoing experiment.
