Quoth lordlundar View PostWow, you are an optimist. I wouldn't even give it THAT long.
And in other news, my Toshiba laptop (where I have the 10 reserved on) now has screen bleed. I'm debating whether to buy a new screen and install it myself or just get a new laptop.
Yet my old Dell Inspiron, which I am using at the moment, is still chugging along just fine. Unfortunately, it has Vista and can't upgrade to 10.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

Quoth lordlundar View PostIn this campaign they had "common people" (in quotes because it was more likely staged) try out their "incredible new prototype" Windows OS codenamed "Apache". After showcasing the positive reactions they would then say that they've been using Vista all along.Sorry, my cow died so I don't need your bull

Quoth EricKei View PostYou don't need a tech for that - you need an exorcist!
I am wanting to get a new laptop anyways, so I'll just make do with it in the meanwhile. At least my old Dell is still chugging along fine.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

So windows 10 is downloading on a lappy we have so we can see what it was like but we got NO notification of a 3gb download and as my internet was running at treacle speeds I was thinking of a restart when I just looked at updates on the off chance and behold Windows 10 download at 40%.Final Fantasy XIV - Acorna Starfall - Ragnarok (EU Legacy)

Eek. I knew it was a background download but I figured it would at least warn you and ask "Are you ready?" first"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons. Nobuo Uematsu used Crayola Crayons to paint the Sistine Chapel." - Jeremy Jahns (re: "Dancing Mad")

Quoth wolfie View PostSounds like someone at Microsoft dropped the ball on that one. What about people who travel a lot on business, and use a laptop with either a "rocket stick" or a smartphone acting as a hotspot for their internet connection? A massive download without warning, causing either massive overage charges or (for those with "unlimited" plans) run them into the "fast" cap so they're restricted to really low speeds for the rest of the billing cycle.Human Resources - the adult version of "I'm telling Mom." - Agent Anthony "Tony" DiNozzo (NCIS)

Well despite the surprise download that Bardie posted about I'm liking 10 so far, seems stable and easy to use. Poked all the relevant settings to off (No you do not get my information microsoft :P ) and got it to how I like pretty quickly.As soon as I start thinking

So
Would you recommend it?
Hated Windows ME and Vista, Windows 7 works great for me now.
The earlier Windows 3.1 and Windows XP were at work and someone else configured.
Windows 7 so far has been easy to use, just that some of the automatic stuff is too deeply buried for me to find the time to adjust.
I hated Windows 8.0 because things were buried even deeper in the OS, but in Microsoft's defense I found the more damage a function could cause to your machine (format drives for example, re-partitioning, etc) the harder to get to.
That makes sense considering some of the bonehead move I have seen others and even myself make.

Tentative yes at the moment, it has most of the best parts of 7 with some of the benefits of 8
Start menu is back, things are relatively easy to do in it for the less tech literate. I actually forced the upgrade on my main pc because I want to see how it runs with a much better powered system. This is not for everyone because you need to do some command line stuff and I know most people are not comfortable doing that. I however have a techie at my beck and call who works for kisses and cuddles
Techie boyfriend loves it after having 8 on his laptop, had a minor hiccup with a driver issue but it was easily sorted by downloading the correct ones from the companies website
Haven't found anything that doesn't work with it yet but I haven't tried some of the odder things I have on my main system yet.
So far it's been a positive experience but I'll report back with any issues I find I run into.As soon as I start thinking
