Fascinating pre-release information leaks about
"Windows 10X".
As for the advantage over Catalina, all I can say is, "FOOD FIGHT!!" LOL

Ive never had to rollback a MacOS update or upgrade. I dont think a lot of Windoze users can say that.

Ive never had to rollback a MacOS update or upgrade. I dont think a lot of Windoze users can say that. That's why I only run Windows in VMs (virtual machines). Prior to doing updates, I make a spare copy of the VM disk file. Then I run the updates. if it looks like trouble, "rollback" consists of copying the spare file back over the updated one. No fancy procedures, just a single file copy.
As it happens, I'm holding off on updating my Macs to Catalina because it removes support for all 32-bit applications and services, and I have a couple programs that aren't yet available in 64-bit versions. If I allowed my Macs to update, I'd have to roll them back.
And that's what "Time Machine" is for. :-)

Why is dual screen such a big deal it requires a separate OS branch? Multiple screens have been common for 25+ years.

Yeah, that was my reaction. "SO WHAT?" I've been using dual and triple screens with MacOS and Linux for many years.
Actually, with Windows 7 too.
Surely there's something Very Special about this that we don't understand yet. Right?

I cannot speak for everyone, but I never have had to for any OS. I have MAC Catalina, Win 10, and Linux (mint) PCs and rarely have a problem with any of them. I use all of them for my job.
Either I am very lucky or I am not a whiny person who goes to forums and complains.

Unrelated to this, but I did the Win 10 upgrade on my 8.2 machine for free today per your post yesterday. Other than taking forever it went perfectly and everything seems to be working fine. I was reluctant to do it at first but this is my 3rd PC running 10 now. Thanks!

This is my first post after upgrading (?) from System 7 to Windows 10 Home. So far so good. I don’t seemed to have lost anything in the transition.

Windows 10 is 4 years old. What am I missing? It should be more "reliable" than a new release although Apple's releases have been a bit dodgy in the QA dept.

As a owner of a computer repair shop, Windows 10 has been very good for business.

I’ve had to rollback Mac OS. Not an easy thing that’s why running Macs in a corporate environment is tough. Now Joe blow on the street probably has little need to roll back Mac OS update.

#14 Just google: windows 10 update problems
Cannot start the pc afterwards to printing issues and everything in between. That is just the latest version. This is a repeat of past updates.
I use Windows 7 64bit myself on my desktop pc.
Windows 10 is a mess. Part 7,8,10 and I bet Windows 3.1

Micro$oft still has exclusive use of a feature no other operating system in the world can replicate.

So my first Windows 10 upgrade from System 7 went so smoothly on my tower, that I updated our laptop last night. Also really smooth. I like the fact that they put a tool bar on the second screen. For things that one is forced to do, or else, this was a pretty good experience.

I was not so fortunate, when I upgraded my Win7 Pro a couple years ago. Luckily it was a VM (virtual machine) so I just made a copy and tried the upgrade on that. Seemed okay at first, but then the first time it did Win10 Upgrades it went unstable. So I ended up getting a Win10 installer ISO file, and did a fresh installation of Win10 from scratch. That has been fine ever since, including upgrades, although I skipped 1809 which was generally viewed as a disaster. After 1903 came out earlier this year I did another fresh install using the same product keycode, copied my applications over, and it's fine.
Since you're doing okay so far, my only advice is, do regular backups. If your installation is "on the metal" (not a VM), I personally like Acronis True Image, but there are good competitors too. If it's a VM, just make a copy from time to time in case things go sideways.
