How long before Windows Update FORCES a Win10 update, do you think?
My money is on "Less than 3 months"...

As long as it doesn't make me re-install all my apps, and doesn't lose me any of my files, it'll be fine... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I am guessing a lot of people won't mind being moved away from Windows 8.
I think it'd more interesting to see what will annoy people with Windows 10, considering how angry people got over the start menu disappearing in Windows 8.
Try Grapple for Android, it has a naked pixel guy in it!
Also, loads of blood and some snakes.

True, but it might upset the people running Windows 7...

Probably the re-introduction of the Start Menu.

Indeed, what can possibly be more controversial than a way to find shortcuts to apps?

Yay! This is the kind of improvement that users get excited about.. putting back features that they already had! 
But when, oh when, can I get a resizable environment variables window? I've been waiting for that feature since 1995.

That's included in Windows 10!
It looks a little different too; black background, off-white text, a flashing cursor; it's a real retro feel. To see the variables you have to type SET, to set them, also SET.
NB: you can only expand it vertically though; horizontal expansion is still way beyond today's technology.

You just have to press windows + r, then type cmd in the little box that appears there and BOOM! There you have the black screen... xD

Is it a different shade of black?

Search for resize enable. It's somewhat of a hack but I know it works for the environment variables. I've been using it since the Win XP days.

It's a shame we have to resort to third party software to do this kind of thing.
Ah well, I guess the guys at Microsoft have been busy for the last few years "designing" squares

I'm hoping they solved the issue of mice conflicting with tablet devices. 17 months later, I'm waiting for left-click to work. For the time being, it's point-mouse, left-click-tablet.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.

That is hilarious.
Not for you, obviously, but to wait 17 months for the mouse to work is hilarious.

Windows 8 was so bad that Windows 10 would have to suck all the air off the planet to be worse. This is being written on a Win 7 machine and after testing 10, 7 looks odd, not bad just odd. Bottom line 8 is so bad after testing 10 and then down loading it last night 10 looks good.

Hey, it's Microsoft we're talking about here. Make sure you've got an oxygen tank nearby!

The bar was set pretty low by 8 for those that didn't like it, so its guaranteed that they'll love 10. Human nature.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

I have contemplated doing that, now that you have mentioned this I may actually go ahead and do that.

It will be a pleasure taking your money from you. It never happened for any of the previous incarnations. Why should it for this one (especially now we've had the U2 debacle!)?

Because this is supposed to be the last version of Windows. I'm sure Microsoft will find it much easier to patch errors if everybody is using the same version...
