Do you like it? Are you gonna get the beta tomorrow? Are you going to stick with 7, or upgrade? I personally think it's great. In case you missed it, here is the link to the official Microsoft blog post: http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/09/30/announcing-windows-10/

I'm going to try it out on a partition and see how it goes.

Kinda hard to have an opinion about it if it's not out yet.

I think this may be a bad decision, but I'm downloading the beta to my one computer tomorrow. Because patience is something I don't have enough of.

Don't install over your Windows 8. Make a partition.
But from what little they've shown us it seems to address a lot of people's gripes about Windows 8: start button, Metro, Metro apps  (10-01-2014, 10:18 AM)NaturalViolence Wrote: Kinda hard to have an opinion about it if it's not out yet. Eh, not for some of us  It's not that I don't think Windows 10 may be a "bad" OS, I just don't think it'll be the OS to make me turn back to Windows. I'd have some pretty high expectations for any version of Windows to win me back. Now, for everyone else in my family, the answer is yes. It just depends on whenever the family gets a new laptop or computer. In time, they'll be using it. 10-01-2014, 01:00 PM
it's fucking ONE POINT NINE MORE than the current version. I almost can't even.

Just in time for the beta to be released, I found out I could turn off hybrid shutdown in windows 8. So, I'll be installing the beta and arch as soon as I get the time.
EDIT: I also, apparently, have a chance to re-rip all of my games, so I guess I'll test dolphin across the two versions of windows, but keep in mind that my presentation of my results will be crap and, if this is useful information, you should wait for someone better at that to do it.

Saw some features I liked such as the virtual desktops and the revamped command prompt. While there's third-party applications for this, it's nice to have a built-in solution. I'll probably install it as my main OS once the preview is here for extensive testing.

I'm not sure if it's going to be worth trying out. I'll probably end up doing it anyway, if I can be bothered to repartition my disk.
With Microsoft focusing on cross-device functionality, and hence mobile, I can't help but wonder if maybe my trusty Windows 7 install will stay as my main OS for several years more. At the same time, Win10 seems to bring back some features for desktops (like a normal start menu...), so perhaps instead of focusing on "cross-device" and mobile they are focusing on actual cross-device, and thus both PCs and mobile platforms. In short, if they can deliver an OS that feels like it was made for a PC, and is easy enough to use, I'll probably upgrade eventually; as for the beta, I'll wait to hear what other people have to say before trying it out myself.
