Windows 10
July 29, 2015 at 7:08 pm
Just downloaded Windows 10. Trying it out. So far, it seems okay. I haven't tried it enough to give an opinion one way or the other. Anybody else have it yet?

My son - a network technician - suggested waiting six months so the eager-beavers can find all the bugs in it.

If we wait eight months instead of six, we can try out Windows 10+. Thirteen months after that, Windows 19 1/2 should be available.

Give it till the first service pack.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

That's the conventional wisdom, however, given the new development model, what 'Windows 10' is is a continually moving target - and so will always have new bugs introduced (hopefully to be quickly found and fixed).

You might be waiting a very, very long time.

I'm actually not sure about that system. I'm entitled to my free version, but is there a possibility to install it as a second system? I don't want to go through the hassle of a cleansweep and reinstalling windows 7.
