    "Another nail in the PC coffin."

    Some coffin. Windows 10 is currently activated on more than 600 million devices and has overtaken Windows 7 as the most-used version of Windows. Clearly, some people have learned how to use Windows 10. How about you?

    Windows10

    Are you saying that's by choice? If I wanted to buy a new system, there no way I can get Windows 7 on it today. Are the device OEMs even writing device drivers for Windows 7 anymore? I purchased a Dell Inspiron 13-5368 and Windows 7 will not work on this
    system. So yes, 600 million and growing would be true but not because users want Windows 10.

    LOL ... how much do they pay them to write these things

    I wish I could be so enthusiastic
    for me I am just not impressed with a lot of what I see in Windows 10. I don't even want to start in about all I don't care for, thus far. Overall, for me there is only one truly great improvement and that is the windowed Metro Apps, they did a great job of that and the Metro music app is improved. Now, if they could just throw the rest away.

    Really?? Stardock has had this available in Windows 8 for some time using ModernMix -- which allows you to run Metro apps contained in windows on your desktop.

    Not ... if they make it available as a free upgrade to Windows 8 (and maybe, Windows 7) users -- and it works as well as the "upgrade" I did from Win8.1. Personally, I see no reason to rush out and buy a Win10 machine when the "upgrade" works as well as it does on a Windows 8.1 install on a previously, Windows 7 machine.

    Yes, I suspect that it will be quite successful.

    Really?? Stardock has had this available in Windows 8 for some time using ModernMix -- which allows you to run Metro apps contained in windows on your desktop. Speaking of windowed Modern Apps; in build 9841 the app header matched the Explorer window color; anybody know why they went back to the black header bar in 9860/9879?

    Why would these 600M PCs upgrade ? Some may do that but most will stay where they are. If a system works, why change.

    Over 90% of those 600M are not enthusiasts like us. They are just 'basic' users that need their email, pictures and maybe skype - or they are businesses that run their applications. And for those the old rule applies:" if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

    Besides, what are the Windows 10 functions that a basic user or a business would need.

    Very true. I know people that still run XP simply because it came on the system and it still works just fine. The fact that support for XP has stopped doesn't matter to them. So if that is true, I doubt that a large number W7 PC's, which are still under support, will be upgraded either. But strange things do happen... *Biggrin
