When we first unveiled Windows 10 in September, we outlined our plans for a new era of Windows. We wanted to create a Windows that empowered people and organizations to do great things. Our vision was one platform, one store, and one experience that extends across the broadest range of devices from the smallest screens to the largest screens to no screens at all.

For Microsoft, Windows 10 begins to deliver on our vision for more personal computing. In this world experiences are mobile, moving with you seamlessly and easily across your devices. Interacting with technology is as natural as interacting with people – using voice, pen, gestures and even gaze for the right interaction, in the right way, at the right time. And in our connected and transparent world, we respect your privacy and help protect your information.

From the beginning, Windows 10 has been unique – built with feedback from five million Windows Insiders, delivered as a service with ongoing innovations and security updates, and offered as a free upgrade* to genuine Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 customers.

I’m looking forward to it. I’m only using my Windows monster machine for flight simulation, and occasional browsing, but most of the flight sim geeks that have jumped on 10 are VERY happy with it.

If I understand correctly, I have “pre-ordered” I guess you’d call it, and now it’ll automatically download in the background without me clicking anything? So I’ll have to turn my gaming rig on while I leave for work. Then I can do the actual install manually?

Have I got that right?

Atari 800, then Atari1600, then ATI 33 DX, then another P.C. ( I forget the name), then Toshiba Satellite A75, then I-MAC.

Now you tell me what operating systems came with those,

If that's what you've used then the last Windows OS you used was XP. That was the last release based on the NT core, and released in Aug. 2001.

Your expertise is about 14 years, and 3 releases and a core generation out of date.

He could have started with Dos 1.2 in 1984 or so. I did. Of course Windows did not come out until later, but it’s easy at this point to make the term generic. Maybe.

Toshiba Satellite A75 took other updates beyond Windows XP.
But I dumped them and went back to Windows XP, because Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows 7 were CRAP !

Maybe. But in the context complaints about viruses and malware?

If you dumped the Toshiba and switched to the I-Mac in '91, then you couldn't have ever run Windows 2000 or 7 on it. They didn't exist yet.

Okay, I misread that.

Now, why are you asking me what operating system it came with, instead of telling us that you'd replaced what it came with?

Like most of my "Buys", I buy on sale at the BX, when the models close out.
I didn't buy my Toshiba until 2001.

The whole point is, I’ve been on P.D.s since my Atari 800, and most of it was for college work.

That doesn't explain why you didn't just come right out and say what operating systems you installed on it, or why you seem to have all these problems with malware and viruses that everyone else seems to avoid. The part about the programmer ex-wife is starting to make more sense, though.

And I'm suppose to REMEMBER what operating systems were on computers I used more than 20 years ago ?
What do you think happens to you as you get older.

My ex had her OWN computers, because of her FORTRAN, C, C+ , and other languages she had to design programs on, and run, and "de-bug".
We did not mix the two because of all that "De-Bugging" and homework projects she had to do.

You seem to be able to when you want to.

Everybody here has their own computer, and their own stuff they run on them, too.

You must be EXTREMELY YOUNG.
You probably have NO CLUE of what it's like to be married, try to put 2 people thru college, and still make the money last until the end of th month, WHILE meeting your military active duty obligations.
Wait until YOU have to squeeze a dollar that tight.

I'm 61, and have worked in IT for about 40 years. Over 30 years of it was with PCs, and enterprise PC networks operating with and alongside IBM mainframes.
