for every person that says its good , there will be a person that hates it


you DO KNOW that you have a month (or more) to revert back to win 7 if you don,t like it


so , what have you got to loose ? after all its FREE!!!

Wait until the spring to allow the w10 codebase to settle further, you have until 29th july 2016 to take up the free upgrade offer so no need to rush into the early adopters curse.

^^^^^ that, at the moment. Personally I don't like W10 and can't see me installing it on any of my other machines (it's currently on one trial lappy for testing purposes)

It shows promise over W7 but has been ruined by over zealous spying and a couple of questionable design decisions.

just 'coz it's "free" (but even that's questionable with it's over-zealous data collection aka spying) don't mean you should take it up

Over all, I am just kind of meh! when it comes to windows 10. I don't find myself using many of windows 10's new features like Cortana! It got some new icons, new search and a changed start menu. Spartan (Internet Explorer) needs a lot of work. Don't expect to be able to start using this as your main browser. I could go back to windows 7 tomorrow, and I wouldn't really miss much about 10.

I would suggest you try Windows 10 out in a virtual machine, which isn’t difficult to install on Virtualbox and see how you get a long with it.

This might give you a better idea on what decision you want to take.

Maybe it's the touch of Homer Simpson in me where I just can't resist the free column in the ads pages, the trampoline episode is a classic
