I don't get it! I find windows 7 rather clunky how and don't get me started on XP!
Got to love the 'there be beasties here' brigade, I for one will be installing Windows 10 day 1 and never look back... Mind you I was more than happy with Windows ME at the time.. Guess I just deal with issues rather than whine about them :-)
I think windows 7 fell like a old OS system. I help people somtime with there pc and windows 7 just fell old and outdated.
Doing a day one upgrade is a bit silly, should you not wait and read the reviews to find out if it's any good first ?Quote:

I didn't mind millennium though it just seemed like a slightly polished win 95.
Windows 10 has it's work cut out.

Can't see a Win 10 upgrade being a big risk myself. After all it's heavily based on Win 8 (which is rock solid and fast) just with a new GUI and some extra features (like XP was with Windows 2000). Its also had lots of testing via the preview builds. I'll likely upgrade day one too as I still don't like the full size start screen on 8.1.
Now, now. For all you know he's been running the beta for the last few months and has been very happy with it like me :PQuote:

I continue to use it as a nice lightweight VM though.
In my line of work 90% of our clients' computers are still using XP or one of its Embedded variants, so I have to keep all my knowledge on it for some time yet.

Business's you can understand they need a fair bit of testing.
LOL.. Not a fanboy .. just willing to deal with issues and modify my behaviour to suit rather than need things to stay the same.Quote:
