Not to mention there’s a good chance that 20% of drivers for existing hardware will not work or work well, thereby crippling or blue screening your “upgraded” PC. And figure 10% of application software will fail as well. It’s clear to me from working with the technical releases of W10, that it’s likely W10 is going to have MAJOR, MAJOR problems.
It worked...but I think there were major bugs in the 64-bit driver. Moved it over to an ancient 386-class computer I use to test software targeting the equivalent embedded system.
Yeah, but they gotta roll the sucker out regardless. They're losing ground to Mac and Linux, they've got a ton of people who love Win7 and don't want to change, and there are still just as many people using WinXP as the total combined usage of Win8.0 and 8.1.
Microsoft HAS to get Win10 into the marketplace in time for the fall student season, and the holiday season after that, or they're doomed. Meaning they'll never get our from behind the 8-ball, even with their remaining large marketshare advantage.
So there will be a lot of crashes and losses and weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. But the migration will happen, and it will eventually succeed.
