Windows 10 coming July 29th

Well,Windows 10 is coming July 29.You probably have the notification on your system tray.
If you are running Windows 7 or 8.1 you will be able to upgrade for free for the first year.
 
Ill defo hold off installing once I read some reviews and if there are any problems etc with it before I install.
So far Im still fine with 7.1
 
I'm getting those popups on my 7 machine. I'm with Obi, I'm gonna wait to see what people say before I decide to upgrade or not. I'm very happy with 7 so 10 needs to blow me away.
 
I am updating on release day. I have Win 8.1 and hate it. Had to install a Win 7 skin to just make the OS usable. I have had Win 10 installed as a virtual machine on my iMac and I really like it. This is what Win 8 should have been.

I'd upgrade immediately if I had Windows 8. I had to use it briefly at work but got downgraded to 7 because it couldn't run my work programs lol. Using 8 was the worst week of my life.

I only installed Win 8 because I was having a read headache installing Win 7 as a clean install. After my clean install, mouse and keyboard would not work, then would work and would not work. Drivers and everything were updated, and really should just be plug in play, standard 2 button mouse and dell keyboard. I decided I did not want to waste anymore time so bought Win 8, which installed hassle free. Hassles started after as I tried to navigate a touch screen OS without touching. Anyways, long story short I found a skin to make Win 8 looks like Win 7 and that works for now. I love the new look of Win 10, very sleek and modern.
 
I find it very interesting how they are doing Windows 10. I remember reading a while back (and refound the articles, lol) that they are saying this is the last revision to the Windows family, at least for the foreseeable future (I guess until some major leap in technology happens). They basically engineered Windows 10 to be multiple components (like the start menu is a separate part of the OS than the settings than the window component, etc) so then they can only release updates and tweaks for very specific parts for very specific versions (for desktop, phone, tablet, etc). Very interesting way they are doing it this time around and it seems like this may pay off. This way if people are unhappy with the start menu for example, they can fix it and only update that instead of revamping the whole OS. Wonder what this can mean for customization.

It sounds like they took some tips from Linux LOL - do you want the Aero distro or the classic distro? Haha. I like what they're doing with 10, at least by the sounds of it. One platform to rule them all :)

I'm sticking with Fedora 21 with GNOME Desktop Environment. When I bought this PC I didn't have to pay for an OS so I was very happy. Microsoft needs a kick in the nuts over their failure to delivery a new browser in a timely manner. IE is just terrible! The interface is good but all the stuff behind it is a mess. They should have made a webkit-based browser three years ago.

I actually find it amazing they kept IE up for the last 20 years is it now? If never was good. I am curious to the new browser to replace it. Apparently it was developed from the ground up. A couple videos I saw showed it pretty nifty.
 
I really could care less about Internet Explorer or the new one for Win 10. If it is good, great. If not, well there are great options out there. Chrome, Firefox, Safari.

Haha. Agreed. I probably still won't use it. I'm a Firefox whore so even if I had Win 10, I'm still going to use Firefox. And Chrome to a secondary limited capacity.
 
So,apparently its available now.
Early review from what I read says its actaully good and worth upgrading too.
Anyone here upgrade yet?
 
I haven't upgraded as of yet, I reserved my upgrade copy though a couple of weeks ago. Just need to find time when I'm not using my laptop for much to sit down and actually do the upgrade.
 
I'm waiting for the little Windows 10 icon to appear so I can download/upgrade. So far obviously it hasn't. Hopefully won't be much longer.

You haven't had it yet? That's pretty strange......odd...

Its to appear where your internet, volume and if you're on a laptop power settings. Odd you haven't gotten it yet as I think most people have.

Yeah nothing as of yet. I did sign up for it a while back but still nothing.
 
Though I did click the reserve copy in the system tray ages ago I havent received any notification that I can actually upgrade yet either..-]
Maybe its a country roll out thing?
