We will wait to “upgrade” until after others have tried it out for awhile. I am not really that fond of “cloud computing” other than for sharing pictures and videos. If curiosity gets the best of me... I will try it on a cloned drive and keep the original safe and secure... so all I will have to do is swap the drive back in.
AS far as the several flavors... I am not sure why people would expect anything different.
A full 10 versions into their flagship product and they still can't stop with all the 31 flavors nonsense.
Issuing an OS with full functionality regardless of intended use or platform costs them absolutely nothing once the R&D and code are finished.
These aren't models of cars or guitars - their insistence on consumer-bewildering levels of prestige remains a mystery, unless it's because MS reps and other IT types make a buck out of doing the usual rounds of PowerPoint presentations to explain them - along with MS' longstanding obsession with testing MCITP types on the minutiae of differences between versions - such questions are disproportionately represented in their exams which is a tip-off that the marketing tail is wagging the technical dog.
I've worked with, for and next to Microsoft but they are so far behind the curve on some things e.g. web browser it can only be corporate ego that compels them to issue new versions that will be ignored at worst or viewed as me-too-ism at best.
In sum, they cannot seem to shake a certain mindset and it's frustrating because they have the cash and the brainpower to wipe the slate clean stop repeating the same mistakes.
My experience is that the "Pro" version of Windows has just been a way to make people pay a bunch more money if they want native Virtual Private Networking ability.
I wonder if all these versions will still have the key logger ?

This desktop looks a little more familiar, than Windows 8 which I always found confusing. So far I am content to keep Windows 7 for a while until the bugs get worked out of Windows 10. If MS offers a free upgrade to Windows 10 I might be more inclined to make the switch. My biggest concern is what type of computing power might be needed. To move from Windows XP it took a new motherboard and processor, plus lots of RAM. Fortunately I have a custom built desktop and can make these changes easily
