You can pry Win7 out of my cold dead hands!

I don't trust "free" anything. Somehow it will be a trap.

I tried the tech demo, it's solid.

What might they do to fuck us over in the release? IDK. Can't blame anyone for not upgrading, but they'll force you once games using DX12 become standard.

There are a couple funky things being reported, (so far), but overall they are minor and only really hit those utilizing the "Home" editions.

Vista, 7, 8, and 10 are all built on the same architecture. Each iteration is intended to be more lightweight and faster than the previous versions. MS desperately wants to avoid the XP problem going forward so they are working to make each new version worth upgrading to. Making them free to existing users is one way to push adoption forward.

Considering the organization I support has thousands of installed seats, we are not going forward with a Win10 rollout anytime soon. Getting everyone off of XP took long enough. The decision of when to move forward is above me though.

On a personal level, I have tried it and find it works well enough. I will probably upgrade to it on my desktops but not my laptops.

it looks too much like a phone app, I dislike that functionality in a gaming pc

Windows 10 monetization started rolling in.

I guess next they will start selling 'epic' cards for the solitaire.

I have said over and over to my friends. Go ahead and upgrade. Tell me how you like it when you have to have a Premium yearly subscription in order to get critical security updates for the rest of the existence of that OS.

Direct X will not force Win10. Compatability modes will follow very shortly after. MS can't afford to loose developers using Direct X as an engine as it will facilitate the natural migration away from that platform.
