I have not yet because well, there are fucking Microsoft and I am afraid it will fuck up my programs, my hard drive and my sanity!

How did it go?
 
You have a year to upgrade. Let them work out the bugs first, if what you have is working for you.
 
Given the many security concerns with 10, I don't think upgrading is advised.

will hold on to my windows 7.

had upgraded a secondary laptop to Win 8.1, but changed it back to Win 7. let's see how this Win 10 thing works.

it'll be buggy, no doubt. :rolleyes:
 
My wife upgraded. Says WINDOWS 10 sux.

I took a pass.
 
Not yet

I'm really curious about it though. The xbox one remote play feature looks great.
 
I got the notification saying my computer can be upgraded, but it keeps saying they'll tell me when it's my turn.
 
I upgraded my main pc last week when it became available. Those who have been using Windows 8 won't see a huge difference. The upgrade went smoothly and everything still works just as it did under Windows 8.
 
A couple of things to be aware of with windows 10, I'm sure there are many more.

If you use wifi windows 10 thinks all your friends should have access to any wifi network you use so will share your wifi network password with them. This includes contacts and even all your facebook "friends".
Depending on the method some of them can even then share access with friends of theirs.

If you're using home or pro edition of Win10 you can't turn off updates. So even if MS releases an update that breaks something (like the one recently that broke getting updates) you can't not get it. With Windows 10 the OS model is now windows as an app, so they can add and remove features at will and you'll have no choice in the matter. For instance, you won't be able to choose just security updates and not install some annoying new feature, or prevent the removal of something you've come to use a lot.
Business edition users are the only ones who can refuse updates.
 
I have been on it since it was beta.

Its just a dumbed down version of 8.1.

And all these "omg they are spying on me" notes are stupid since a lot of these things have been built in since the Win7 phone.
 
Fvck windows, fvck apple...

...Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Cinnamon works just fine.

I always remind people of the update fiasco for XP where one of Microsoft's patches killed the NIC. Their response? "Just go out to our website and get the corrected patch."

Excuse me you dimwits, but if you just killed my network connection how would you like me to go to your website and get the corrected patch?

We've already seen one patch mangle people's systems (those with Nvidia cards), how many more screw ups will it take to finally abandon this nonsense that your overpriced developers know what they're doing?
 
Windows 10 EULA
We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to protect our customers or enforce the terms governing the use of the services.
English translation. "We will access and share what we want when we want."

Oh, well then. That's fine. :rolleyes:

Considering that Windows phone has a less than 3% market share I'm gonna guess any issues with Win10 will affect a good deal more people.

Uh most EULA's now say that.

And I meant that the syncing from phone to the cloud settings have always been there.

Apple is syncing a heck of a lot more than that, but most people dont get upset about that.

No EULA's for software I use say that. But I'd be interested to know what other EULA's say the software company can, much less will, access, copy and share all data on your computer any time they feel like it.

Justifying bad policies because of other companies' bad policies seems pretty shortsighted to me.

Nothing I use syncs to "the cloud".

Windows 10 stores your bitlocker key on MS servers. Why one earth would anyone in their right mind give the key to all of their data to complete strangers?
 
Not I says the man typing on the 14 year old laptop.
