and i think that windows 8.1 thing would not be a bad idea either. i can go to walmart tonight and purchase that. i also assume i have to install windows 8.1 first and then upgrade? or can i download the windows 10 ISO straight up and then use the windows 8.1 key?
Why? I'm on 10 and it works great. No drive imaging required.
There is no excitement causing blindness. The system is a host for my work virtual machine, so I am extremely critical of the functionality, and it has done great. I get tired of reading the insane criticism in this thread, though.Thiddy, and Nade, both of you need to cool it.
AF and C6 are doing an excellent job setting expectations. Everyone should just chill and see where the chips fall. I'm not a fan of privacy violations, and agree, most OS's have been very S L U T T Y. All of us want to be on the next OS and playing around with it there is varying degrees of smoothness, but MS has taken some new stances on privacy and believe all of us should be weary and understand EXACTLY what it means for all of us.
Excitement can at times cause blindness, everyone needs to relax and take it with a grain of salt. This is MS's first time at an all encompassing OS, we should ALL be VERY CAUTIOUS.

Are we reading the same thread? The version numbers? Reading information on an existing install? Sharing wireless? Wanting Microsoft to lose a lot of money because "its a bad OS" with no back up?Insane criticism? I do not see that at all. I see a community looking for answers without ambiguity.

It was the same thing with Windows 8.1, which is a great OS. People just parrot information without knowing what is actually going on. It happens literally every time a new OS comes out and it is dumb.

Caution is fine, but that should not devolve into conspiracy theories, as it serves no one. I'm happy to be an early adopter on 2/3 of my machines and report my findings as they arise. So, if you have anything you want me to test or verify, ask away! Let us keep this objective, please.
although it may be the next best thing to sliced bread (who came up with that expression anyway),
Heh, I will let this initial hullabaloo die down and try again in a couple weeks. Its not like it is holding me back from any functionality...
... though the transparent 'activate windows' notification does seem to be visible through everything on my desktop. At least it is not in games!
