Anyone who is running Windows 8.1 or 7, will get Windows 10 as a free upgrade when it comes out on July 29th. Cool :)

What they figured out is that sales of OS is mainly to manufacturers when they make/sell new computers and that very few people ever upgraded after they bought a computer. Also having to write each OS/Program to be backward compatible is expensive and also creates a lot of bloat. With Windows 10 they will automatically update all systems with each update. They really are not going to give you a choice on that. Again, makes it easier to keep everyone on the same system. IN THEORY it is a good way to do business and should be better for software writers to make cleaner/faster programs.

I'm glad you said, "points", as in plural, because if there's one error message I just love to see it's the, "System Restore did not complete successfully" error message.

Yeah, that's always nice. I like that...

I"m running Windows 7 and saw a new icon appear in the system tray. When I clicked on it, it was a prompt to get Windows 10. No thank you. ;)

Oh Joy!

ANOTHER Windows operating system that promises to be the BEST ONE!

And I'll bet it's as secure as any Federal Government piece of software!

I wait with baited breath!

My only problem with the free upgrade is that they only mention getting it via the Windows Store.
Hopefully they will have a direct link to the iso image or files directly from there site like the Win 8.1 upgrade files.

So far it seams to be a Win7 with the (internal/kernal) upgrades from Win8.

You don't have to get it. :rolleyes: Never understood this fanboy hatred-ism. BTW My Win 8.1 is pretty darn secure as long as I don't visit the dark side. I have Linux for that.
