Windows 10 on 14 Million PC's In 24 Hours

...and 24 hours later 14 million people roll back[^]

A "success", no doubt. The new Microsoft will be soon hailing victory for the rollout, as soon as SP1 is delivered to all machines that lost all connectivity. Personally, I stopped at seven. Things have shifted from having a new hype each year to being boring and predictable.

I stopped at 7 also. I don't see any reason to install that crap on my PC's and phurk things up. Windows 7 works, my clients use Windows 7 - it's not broken...

Neither was the horse... I currently run 7 (because 8 is Fisher Price Windows) - but I'll upgrade to 10 probably next week. Unless the internet starts screaming "it made my computer fall over!" and all I hear at the moment is a deafening silence (because it disabled people's network connection, so they can't get online?)
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's my point exactly... I cannot afford to be down, so I won't upgrade unless there's a really compelling reason to.. And that would take a lot of convincing.

Well, it's not going well over here. Tried to install it twice last night, the first time nothing happened (literally, the downloader which was supposed to create a bootable usb wotsit just disappeared), the second time I got the mysterious 'something happened' error message. It's enough to make me buy a Mac. Sorry, I went delirious for a moment. I'm ok now. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-07/30/windows-10-something-happened-error[^]

Well, they did infect everyone's machine with a message telling them to 'reserve' their copy. Coupled with the facts it's free, it's not really that surprising is it? You usually have to pay for your new version of Windows, and I bet that in the past the average user wouldn't even know when a newer OS was available.

Why would I want to take a perfectly working computer and have a good chance of messing it up completely with a new operating system - I wouldn't unless I was insane, which is what I think of most people who go out and install brand new operating systems(before SP1 is released) unless they are doing it because they need to support their insane clients.

I seem to recall someone on this website once referring to XP's Luna theme as "Fischer Price." That wouldn't have been you, would it? :-D

I hope you're using the word "upgrade" in the generic, and not in the specific. I will never upgrade (specific usage) to a major version of an OS. I always install to an empty HD.

...and it bricked my computer, so I've spent my entire Friday night reinstalling Windows 8 instead of shooting zombies in the face. Does that count as a rollback? Or will I try it again tomorrow, like the whore that I am...? :~

A=s I recall, XP was the Fisher-Price release; this one looks more like something Barney would endorse.
