Windows 10...

[Mugwump]

Is set for distribution in July....they have reservations too......folks with Win 7/Win 8 will get an option for an upgrade.

I'm wondering if it's worth it.....looks mostly like 'bells & whistles'

Let meknow what you think of it if you get it.
I have a Windows 8 machine I am annoyed with.

LOL...I was kinda hoping that you'd try it first....

If they'd just take XP and called it windows 10 I'd be a happy camper.  They weren't smart enough to realize that they had a good thing with XP.

I can't understand why anyone who is not tied to a legacy Windows application would spend money on yet another version of Windows.....  even Apple has switched to a Unix derivation.

Sometimes in a business environment you just can't get away from Windows easily, but at home, it's a no brainer to switch to a Linux distribution.  With over 330,000 open source software packages, it's highly unlikely that you can't find software to do what you want.

For years I was a major supporter of Microsoft in light of all that Bill Gates had done to advance desktop computing, but in 2010 after he turned the company over to the Harvard money men I got fed up.  Five years later and I'm running 2 business' with Debian Linux and it's the best thing I could have done.....  looking back, I wished I had switched over earlier.

Not everyone finds Linux an easy switch tho, Dennis......the learning curve, after using Windows for many years, gets discombobulated a bit...

[LizStreithorst]

Exactly.  I have too great a fear that I'd not me smart enough to figure it out.
