Will you install Windows 10?

[otisklt]

I currently dual boot 7 and kub. I am not sold on 10's *cough* trusted computing *cough*
Only keep 7 around for games. Thankfully more and more games are getting native under linux and I don't have to wine
Then if AMD would deliver some comperable drivers... so I could actually multi-screen game with crossfire

10 is definately a no for home. Won't have a choice at work but that is werk.

I definitely won't be installing Win10 (not for myself, anyway).

Every time I work on a Windows PC it just annoys me how much of the machine's resources are sucked up by all the AV/Malware, etc thrashing the hard drive constantly scanning for bad stuff (real or supposed).

Kubuntu rocks!

As others mention, Windoze is for **slow** clients who are afraid to move.
I may have to test my software on other OS's, but I don't have to like it.
For my system, not a chance, even it it freezes over and I'm offered large amounts of cash.

Windows 10, biggest collection of spyware in one download

Two days ago, when I sat down to watch TV and during the ad break I saw this.

Another fine piece of BS from Microsoft's marketing department!

With the release of Windows 10 immanent will you be installing it?

Put it on the laptops. Won't touch my win7 or linux desktops. Use windows for hosting some virtual machines and games

use the large amounts of cash to buy a really nice computer to put linux on....

Criminals are targeting Windows users waiting to download Windows 10.

Well, if you did or will install Windows 10, the long-awaited major November update, a re-basing, is on its way ...

Wait 2-3 weeks, and it's a good time to upgrade to 10 (if you plan to, that is).

I gave my gaming laptop to my, at the time, 11year old grandson. It was set up to dual boot with Win7, but booted into Kubuntu immediately. Two years later I get a call. He had played all the steam games and wanted to play an online game (SWOR) but couldn't get it to run. When I checked I found out that it was a Windows only game. I set up POL for him and got it going. A few days later he wanted to try it on Win, so I set the boot to go into Win. A few days later he called and wanted it set back to Linux. The continual updates, the delayed shutdowns, the slowing down, etc, got to him.

Personally, I'm with you on this 100%, which is why I finally let XP go -- way too much attention and maintenance.

When I had the unpleasant task of administering some window$ boxes at work, I was in a continual state of exasperation when dealing with them. EVERYTHING was slow, painful, time-consuming, counter-intuitive, and just plain unpleasant. Ugh.

Here is another reason why I won't be installing Windows 10.

Microsoft takes the gloves off, pushes Windows 10 upgrades even harder

Windows 7 will be my last Windows OS.

While true, it's not a reason not to upgrade. It's a reason to dislike Microsoft even more. Is Microsoft so desperate? or is it simply following industry trends to competitively force users to be consumers, to be targeted advertising targets?

That forced upgrade you're talking about is very confusing, encountered it here, closed the box using the upper right corner X, the box recurs quite often. I will be upgrading a laptop here--for the heck of it--from 8.1 to 10, but you have to use the Custom Install to avoid at least 30 ways Windows 10 will try to spy on you or otherwise invade/borrow some of your privacy and personal data.

(Of course, you can turn it all off manually after installing 10. However, instead of targeted, customized ads, you'll get generic ads not tailored to you--even on the Start menu.)

How would you like to be in that business, earning your living that way, relying on such work to feed your family? What a pitiful way to earn a living, writing such code or being in charge of spear-heading such marketing ploys.
