My son has been using it on his dev system (web development) for sometime, and reckons it is really quite good.
Yeah, but was he a Win8 Fanbois? Because some of them would like anything... :laugh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

As far as I've seen it is more like a Win 7 - Linux Desktop merge. With additional Tiles, for those who want them. In short, it looks like Win 7 with a flattened start menu. What most people probably will struggle with is the multiple desktop thing.

Turned on my PC this morning and a little flag has appeared in the system tray: "Get Windows 10" :~ I dunno. Should I click it? Or is it going to be more Win 8.2.1 and really annoy me? Now, where did I put that disk imager...

Yep, I now have a Windows symbol in my desktop's task bar, combine that with an unhealthy amount of disc access. It looks like it will be upgraded for free (?) I was gonna post has anyone else seen it but this answers my question.

Our government is running XP. The American IRS is running XP. The English goverment is running XP. Now I should move to "Windows 10", because Win7 would not be secure enough? To take the slogan of the Excell-team to another level, I'll be eliminating my dependencies to Windows.

Really? Care to cite a reference? Curious is all.

Oh, crap... it's in my tray, too. Is this a test? Do I really trust Microsoft to automatically install a new OS when they can't get a simple patch to work 50% of the time? I think I'll let it stew a while, until I hear some reports of how it all went, and how much irreplaceable data was lost in the process.:suss:

Okay, that's interesting reading. And, FWIW, I am not sympathetic with those bozos in the IRS. If a business has a pressing need, it redirects funding from stupid parties, seminars in Hawaii, lavish offices and bonuses and focuses on the crown jewels. For the IRS, that would be information security. But we're talking about the most bloated, corrupt regime in history so....
