Well, now! Today the Windows people sent me a message via Windows updater offering me an opportunity to reserve a copy of Windows 10. It will automatically download as soon as it is available. Should I do it? I haven't heard anything about the good and bad of it, and you know what they say about things that sound too good to be true. Thanks, mates!
It's a free upgrade. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-faq?ocid=win10_auxapp_LearnMore_win10faq If it weren't, I wouldn't even waste my time on it. I'd let everyone else discover all the bugs the hard way.
I've been running it for probably 4 or 5 versions now. It's much better than Win8 and it's free ! It feels like Win 7 and looks a bit like 8, but much easier to use.
Have you had any compatibility issues with hardware or software? I use some rather specialized programs for graphic art, music engraving, and sound recording/engineering and hardware like graphic tablets and USB mics.
We have the start menu back... I'm upgrading... after I finish weeping with joy :cry: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lao99kpmfcI"]Windows 10 First impression and Review - YouTube[/ame]
Whoever came up with the Win8 GUI should be shot. I am thinking about the Win10 upgrade as well. Would be interesting to see how well it works with my 8 year old Core2Duo.
Apple is laughing all the way to the bank These days, your apple is just a rebranded PC with intel inside
Nowadys there's not a lot of difference between them. The primary difference, IMO, is that Macs are vastly overpriced. I got my computer graphic design CCL using macs and use a PC at home-so I don't have any particular bias (normalcy or otherwise) comparing them. The big downside with Macs, IMO, is the closed architecture. It would be great to build souped-up hot rod Macs cheap. I reckon Mac prices would come down faster with open architecture. Even the days when Apple fanboys could brag about having fewer bugs and viruses are gone now. A mac ate one of my important homework assignments when I was in design school. Fortunately, my prof let me drop that project and be graded on the others. Apple is more a yuppie status symbol than a practical alternative to PCs now. /shrugs

Yeah... well... I'm going to stand over here with my yuppie Mac, and my yuppie polo neck, and my yuppie fairtrade soya mocha-latte with extra foam, and continue to judge all of you.
Or you could go... Linux!!!! It's progressed really well the last couple of years and many distros are pretty simple to use. I'll be updating my winbox as soon as I find the time to back it up and can do the upgrade properly. But then, I'm in the minority that liked Win8, so maybe you don't want to listen to me.
