I can give you some reasons. They are faster. The whole aero shit of microsoft has been removed so less explorer hangs happen. They look a lot better compared to 7 ( i am talking about the desktop). Metro UI is a great addition to the whole system for touch computers.Start menu is cooler when you get used to it. Also if you own windows phone or Windows tablet the synchronization is very convinient. You have your files everywhere phone,tablet,pc,laptop,desktop. I own a tablet with Windows and it is really usefull. Stability also has increased. I havent had a blue screen for a whole year although i use my laptop way too much… Some drivers are pre-installed in the OS so there is no need to search everywhere for drivers. These are some reasons to upgrade. Maybe for you they are not enough and i accept this. As for Windows 10 we must wait and see the final build.

What I am looking for is a reason to update from my current Windows 7 which is a great OS. Nothing since has provided any reason to upgrade. Metro interface on Windows 8 and 8.1 is a nightmare and the New Windows 10 is not as user friendly as Windows 7 especially if you wish to get into the Control Panel Settings.

Then we see the comments relating to the use of the same old, same old (error free bunkum) Linux for many years, which must be similar to watching the 1960’s TV.
How boring it would also be if there was only one car manufacturer with one model which never changed.
Doski would be unemployed if people didn’t have Microsoft Windows, such a hypocrite!

You do realize that you are running a preview of windows 10 with many missing features. Such as Cortana, Spartan and much more. And May i ask. What difference were you expecting? A whole new User Interface with every new Windows version? Not even Linux does that. Actually ubuntu has been the same for a lot of time. From version 11.04 till today it is the same. Mac also had minor changes to none. So i dont think there is space to complain for such a thing. Microsoft added Metro UI and everyone was anoyed because it was strange and different, but people still need a change. I dont get it…

That should appease the “dumb voters.”

I’m NOT impressed.

I shall simply continue to make my living by fixing other folk’s Window$ infected machines while maintaining and using my error free Linux Boxes like I have for the last 8 years. Thank you very much M$ !
But I’m even more Grateful for all of you Linux producers for providing the security and dependability M$ won’t. Bravo ! ! ! ! !

Seems just like Windows 8 to me.

As long as manufactures keep selling and installing Windows with almost every computer sold, all these warnings just fly away in the wind, and we do the same old dance every-time. “It’s a case of taking something Awfully Simple, and turning it into something Simply Awful!” (Microsoft!)
