Ugh, it better be better than Windows 8. What a frikken mess.
It will just blue screen quicker and with more flair.
It is. Much better.
And as I recall, Dell would still ship you a machine with XP on it even after the Microsoft "drop dead" date, if you asked for it. They didn't list it as an option on their website, but you could still get it by asking.
Windows 8? How about 8.1 which I was forced to accept one day as there was no way out without throwing my PC away and buying another one. I wish I had 8 back!!
Why do I now have a “Get Windows 10” icon on my desktop...down in the right hand corner?
If 10 is finished, then it’s the first time for a Windows product.
OK........super
I have two computer awaiting the new OS...
I sure hope I like it..
Seriously? Or are you just being sarcastic..
You have a option to update for free....you can takeitorleaveit...
Mrs p6’s laptop is registered for the July 29 update and both she and I are insiders. I believe MS has already been pushing out W10 components. That could be causing minor issues...longer boot time, background updating, sudden wireless and hardware compatibility strangeness. All very minor but still irritating.
These component packages once in place MAY be why there can be a massive roll out on the 29th.
Or not.
Windows weekly might have the answers on https://twit.tv/ tonight.
If you choose the “free” update don’t forget to save your data!
No, one day I sat down here at the computer and BOOM, all of a sudden a screen came up and forced me into 8.1. I tried everything to back out, but no can do.
Well....the update was really more akin to a service pack. The primary reason for it was to appease a large number of people who claimed the OS was garbage because the “start button” was missing...lol
In any case the 8.1 variant had a better interface to access the old style desktop for those who needed it....(and I am one of those who likes the desktop and hates the tiles)
My assumption:
Signing up gets you in the queue for the upgrade. They are not going to be able to upgrade everybody on the 29th.
If you sign up they will give you a notice when you are able to upgrade.
Apple's iOS 9 beta just rolled out last week. It's suppose to be ready in September.
Google and Amazon also have stuff they are rolling out too.
This should get interesting.
yeah...that’s about it....it will take some time to distribute the update..
The best reason I can come up with for getting it is that the new browser is supposed to be a real big improvement. (and you can’t get it without the entire OS upgrade)
