Windows 10
 

So who got their little Windows 10 icon in their tray today?

Not I.

:(

I got it [Get Windows 10]. I'm running 8.1 that I upgraded from 8.

From what I've read, this will be an invitation to reserve an automatic upgrade which will become available July 29th.

Scary huh.

ETA: I made the reservation. It will automatically download and notify me when it's ready to be installed.

I got one too. I'm on 7 ATM.

Anyone know anything about our new overlord?

I'm getting emotionally ready for the upgrade. It's hard because the last time I decided to just go ahead and trust Microsoft, I wound up with Windows ME.

Imma gonna do a data back up first.
But before that Imma gonna watch you .... :corn:

I didn't see it until you said something about it.

I looked.

There it is.

People are saying the icon is adware or nagware and I suppose it is; but if you want it, and you have Win 7 SP1, Win 8 or 8.1, turn on Windows Updates.

It does allow us to reserve a free copy of Win 10 and that is a fair deal

It was a Windows Update that installed this icon/nagware/Win 10 reservation system... which is not really all that trustworthy... but it's 2015 and there you go. Everyone else has turned our devices and Internet services into payload for ads or paid services, so why not mother Microsoft?

Window's Update isn't trustworthy? Honest question, I really don't know. I assumed it was, since it came from the mother ship.

It's fine, but it is something we need to depend on, critical infrastructure, and so it's iffy that they use it to send along nagware.

I support Win-based solutions now and I have to instruct people to stop Windows Update for video wall systems.

!

There it is!

Thanks Grav.

I have it too. I'm afraid of messing with it. Things are fine here as is.

I'm old and in the way... and I know it.

I don't have it but that's OK, 7 Pro allows me to run XP in a virtual so I can run outlook express. No idea what 10 will or won't do.

What is this Windows 10 you are speaking of? It must not be for Apple our systems just work. Till they break down.

These are not for you, these are for the systems that cost about half what yours cost.
