I held off. Maybe let it "cook" for a bit before I jump in?

What would interest me that win 7 does not do? Because win 7 works pretty well. I wonder what operational benefits it offers.

I had Windows 7 and it wasn't too bad; upgraded to Windows 8 which was terrible, then to 8.1 and it's usable, but certainly not what I'd call good. So I'm waiting to see about Windows 10.

Not yet but I'm definitely looking forward to it.
My Windows 7 computer died a fortnight ago which meant a 2hr drive into the Big Smoke to buy a new one. I'm a 'stuck in my ways' old fart and the Windows 8.1 of the new system is an embuggerance.
I've practically set up my desktop to mimic Windows 7 as much as I can.

Ok, I had not heard that one before... but the meaning is clear right out of the box.:laughing:

I installed it on my Windows 7 laptop yesterday. I never tried Windows 8 or 8.1, but so far it seems good. Laptop seems to be a little snappier, install went without a hitch. No regrets on upgrading, would do it again but have not had a lot of time with it.

It's a lot like windows 7 just a lot of other things on it.. The main thing is it is very easy to use. Would recommend if you have win. 8 and you should have the free download on the bottom right or go to microsoft downloads.

I installed the Beta version on my laptop very early in the year and am up to Evaluation copy 10162. The only problem I had was that when each updated copy was installed it unset my selection for the touchpad of 'Disable when external USB pointing device plug in'. A minor inconvenience. The big plus was that that annoying !@#$%#@#@# sidebar doesn't pop out every time you move the cursor near the right edge of the screen. I will install it on my desktop.
