“I think Microsoft has opened the door for a new competitor in the desktop OS space. Between the heavy handed upgrade tactics and the much more highly controlled Windows 10 ecosystem, three will be quite a few people looking for another option when Win 7 support runs out. I know I will be.”

People say that with every version.

People dont.

Windows 10 is different. It’s not just a new OS but it is a complete shift in the way their environment works. It’s no longer wide open which has always been one of the great benefits of Windows. They are taking the Apple route and trying to control everything, which is a definite roadblock for me. when I buy a product from someone, I’d like to use it my way, not their way.
