So the users who didn’t get bricked are saying it works or something.

Microsoft, which unveiled Windows 10 in September, skipped Windows 9 altogether, to put some distance between the new system and Windows 8.

Oh, FFS, would you stop with this BS already. That wasn't the reason!

. . .skipped Windows 9 altogether, to put some distance between the new system and Windows 8."

That's a false statement. They skipped "9" because it would break a lot of legacy code.

and ultimately Windows as a service, a subscription model

Hang on, is there an annual fee for this OS?

Microsoft donates to planned parenthood.

What I want to know is how NSA friendly is it?

FORCED updates. No thanks. I think Win7 is going to be the last version of Windows I own.

No one can assure me that my software will work, I'm sitting it out.

I did get the download notice today.

The company would then make up for any lost revenue by selling services such as Office over the Internet, or cloud.

I wonder if my paid for copy of MS Office will break if I upgrade and if I'll be forced into buying it again. Hmmm.

The best thing about Windows 10: it's a lot easier to transition to if you're used to Windows 7, Vista or XP. The big problem with Windows 8 and 8.1 is that unless you do a lot of fiddling around with the OS or install a third-party program like Classic Shell, you have to deal with that Modern tiled-element interface--an interface that frustrates older Windows users to no end.

Yes, Windows 10 does incorporate a lot of the Modern tiled interface, but does it in a way that was far less obtrusive to most Windows users.

Thank you Microsoft, may I have another?

If you can’t turn off automatic updates, count me out.

[The Great RJ]

I just switched to Windows 10 this morning ...so far so good. I loved Windows 7 and thankfully didn’t convert to the abomination of Windows 8. A few minor glitches,but everything else seems to be working fine.

My 8.1 laptop upgraded this morning (2 hour upgrade) and so far I like it.

[Jed Eckert]

I'm really a Mac guy but have using a laptop with Windows 7 for a little over a year now. Upgraded to Windows 10 last night.

All went smoothly except for a brief scare where I lost all sound after the upgrade despite the speakers being set at 100%. A quick restart and I got my sound back.

So far I like it. All my old apps seem to be working including an old Adobe Photoshop CS2. Looks like Microsoft Essentials is gone and replaced by Defender. I'll have see if Malwarebytes and Defender play nice together. May have to change some settings in Malwarebytes if they dont.

Things seem to be working a bit faster too.
