    I saw a bit of discussion in the OS topic about Windows 10.

    Who has it? Do you like it / prefer it over Win8/Win7?

    I like how Windows 10 looks so far. I'm hoping the free upgrade pops up for me soon, because I want to do it.

    This interview on The Verge goes in depth with some of Microsoft's people behind Windows 10 if you're interested in learning more about it. Coupling this with their review of Windows 10 and The Verge is killing it with their coverage.

    Dragon Lord (Dynamo isn't letting me tag you directly!) The Verge also has a how to guide for getting the update if you're interested.

    Windows 10's release was announced all over the news today with features we've all been waiting for like Cortona and Edge. What do you think? Was Microsoft too quick to release the operating system so soon?

    Since I'm on holiday, I've yet to update. I've found out that it's hard to update an iPad to Windows 10 :r :r :r

    I got my upgrade today and so far I'm really enjoying it. It hasn't even been a full 24 hours and I already love it compared to Windows 8. It was definitely worth it.

    I got Windows 10 free since I had 7 and 8 on two separate computers, I must say, as simple as the OS is, it's damn awesome. Microsoft Edge is really a great browser, it's not really cluttered, it's easy to use, and it's lightening fast. I also love the new menu, it's easy to navigate and get where I want, but it does keep a bit of that windows 8.1 style which I don't care much for. Cortana is also a great help, this is her first time being on away from a mobile device and boy does she preform well. Another thing I love about Windows 10 is the Task Viewer, while allowing you to see multiple windows at once, it also allows you to create Virtual Desktops. Now I can go on and on about this new OS but these are the notable features you just have to know about. View some screenshots below from my computer. I can't wait until I start doing screencast for my classes with this.

    That should help anyone who doesn't have the icon get the update started!

    The shortcuts are really the best part for me, since I use Windows only at work. Some great power shortcuts.

    I'm upgrading tonight... finally!

    Edit: Taking some getting used to, that's for sure. It's not tracking my mouse just right - either the built in trackpad, or my USB plug-in. So working on that. Other than that, it's definitely fast! And it looks extremely clean. Haven't tried out Edge yet though.

    You may need a mouse driver. Look up the name of your mouse plus the word "drivers" on Google and you may find it.

    This also may a driver issue as I mentioned in the post above.

    Be careful upgrading, a lot of universities are warning against it right now because it doesn't work on sites like blackboard or other programs that some institutions use. Yours may be fine, but I would advise against upgrading while now if you need access to anything important like that.
