i'll wait until after the ms's marketing hype can no longer mask reality. if getting positive reviews from real users after the upgrade has been out for 6 months than i'll consider it. upgrading is too much effort to do on a marketing promise of improvement.

I will, and i think everyone should. It's not bad at all, I don't know why so many people is still stuck with the "I won't upgrade from Win7" mindset. Get on with the times, people. Microsoft fucks up from time to time but lately they've been doing really great things.

Grammatical errors aside, you don't understand it because you likely weren't someone who used Windows the way the people that complained about Windows 8 used. I hated Windows 8 because Microsoft "dumbed down" the OS to make it "more convenient" for kids who play around on their phone/tablet. They took the OS from their worst selling product (phones/tablets), and they replaced their best selling product with that mobile OS. That is the stupidest marketing decision I've ever seen. If a company makes/does something stupid you don't say, "People screw up from time-to-time, but I'm sure that they'll get better. In the meantime let me replace something I enjoy with this thing that gives me fits of rage." That would just be encouraging the company to continue making/doing stupid things. I didn't get Windows 8 because I wanted to. I have Windows 7 on my main desktop. I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop that someone bought me for Christmas with Windows 8.1 pre-installed, and on my work laptop that my company pre-installed. Windows 8.1 was/is horrible for me. Windows 7 has the functionality that I liked. I am "with the times". I'm just not so stupid that I'm going to pay a company to make piss-poor decisions.

I don't understand the hype of upgrading. I'm just buying a new laptop and then *poof* Windows 10 will be there without a trial.


trial?  what do you mean?


My mistake. Bad wording. After a second of thinking of it, it could be a good way of drawing  in Windows 7 users who are happy with the OS and Windows 8 users who hated it. Regardless though, people will get the upgrade if they buy a new PC.



Maybe.



My brother's Windows 8.1 laptop he just got recently. And maybe my Windows 7 laptop too if I see W10 is as good looking as in the videos.

I'll probably upgrade both my Win7 installations eventually. Going to wait awhile, though, lets some drivers and patches and such drop first. Check out some reviews.

I've got an unused Win7 CD, too ... hm.

It's only for the first year, so if you are going to do it...



Hmm, pie.

I am



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I read up on it a little bit more. I am definitely going to download it for my laptop that is running Windows 8.1. I mean, it can't be worse than Windows 8. If it turns out I like it more than Windows 7 I will also put it on my desktop computer.

 

P.S. I am not actually going to use the vote feature at the top of this thread because I both options sound ridiculous to me. I would have voted if the options were just "Yes" and "No".



 

Ill do it my laptop first. If I like it then onto the desktop it goes. But I really like Windows 7 so...



Definitely. Xbox App alone makes me want it
