Anyone download it yet? Thoughts? Positives? Negatives? Things to look out for?
I have Windows 7, avoided the Windows 8 fiasco.

Its cool, maybe a little faster than 8, nothing revolutionary, the new browser is a little weird, will take some time to get used to it.

Hold Off and research this before upgrading. There is what may be very serious "chatter" around the InterWebz that there is really bad Privacy Intrusion Issues, like, where images/vids/documents get scanned by 10 and if certain keyword combinations or Image Hashes are found could lead to Law Enforcement kicking down your door at 3:55 AM in the morning.

Maybe its just more Internet Lies but it sounds "MicroSofty" this auto-scanning of files on the HD and this is inevitable, a matter of time before the NSA has such a deal in place with MS so please just everyone due your Due Diligence here and from here on out

where regards to anything that'd be capable of scanning your HDs then sikking LE on ya. We are as a group right now within a literal Minefield considering the Blank Check powers given to NSA, FBI and especially those in combination with a software company to whom your privacy is of absolutely no concern beyond fooling you into believing its important to them so they can sell stuff.

And they are, to a large degree, not even selling this.....10.

The Free Upgrade and the intrusive insertion of that via normal Windows Update should tell you something.

Its not "just cuz Win 8 sucked so bad"

"Someone" wants WIN10 on America's computers. Why?

You're smart enough to figure out who that "someone" is and why.

Agree with sportstek here. Add it takes a bit longer to upload the browser. My MBPS speed is above average so not sure what the deal is there. I use Firefox versus Edge. 10 look is sharper looking, but overall not a big difference.

After dealing with Windows 8 for ohhhh, about 6 minutes, I am leery of ever "upgrading" from 7. Not a fan of the direction they have gone. Might work better on tablets or mobile devices, but sucks on laptops and everything mobile I own is Android.

Pretty happy with it. I downloaded it onto a netbook first, and got used to it. No downsides compared to Windows 7, other than just getting used to stuff. Nothing that I can't do in 10 that I did do in 7. Although it's not my default browser, Microsoft Edge works ALOT better than IE.
So I have now downloaded it onto my other PC's.
If the NSA is now scanning my computer and sees some of the sickos down in Poli, all the better for America.:):)

Windows10 is a NSA outlet... several warnings in this thread

Certainly nothing is known for sure. You and I know how the Tinfoil Hat crowd is on the internet. I just posted what I did to encourage people to do their Due Diligence.

Ongoingly.

Like....here & going forward.

"9" Looks dumb. Graphically. Numeral "10" distances MS farther from the Disaster of 8. Which was engineered on purpose of course to force as many as possible to get 10. Oh there I go again :):).......

Have to hit Alt Tab Tab when switching from Excel to a browser (Firefox) ever since I downloaded W10. From browser to Excel no problem. Pain in the ass.
