“Why would I want to get Windows 10 When I already have iOS 8.2”

Good point. I wonder if 10 would sufficiently catch up to IOS 8.

I just know that 8 has been disastrous. I know of small businesses trying to work with it and others said screw it and went apple. If I was starting a business not sure I would even consider Microsoft and this you would not have been reading 5 years ago.

Windows 8 is an unmitigated disaster on every level.

Then they did little searching. Install Classic Shell, add a Quick Launch bar, and it is much like W/7. As explained in Windows 8 pro review (upgrade XP to Windows 8 with Classic Shell) ">this FR thread. : In from what i see using the Window 10 preview, as explained in this thread , shows little change from Windows 7. And i usually run with about 100 tbs open in 2 browsers, and about 12 docs, etc.

There is not much of any reason to change to W/10, except for service life. As long as the OS is 64bit for increased ram capability. Even XP is fine for most businesses, except it is no longer supported.

Meanwhile, Linux has a long way to go to be mainstream. Never really had an Mac to try.

You mean iOS 8.0.2

I have problems with the keyboard freezing and cut/paste not working. Safari seems slower as well. Not a happy camper.
