    Remember when Windows 8 came out(American Microsoft Horror Story)- Screams! And then Windows 8.1- Humph! And then Windows 8.1 Update- Aaaaah! What I'm saying is, 8 had to mature also to be what it is today, a secure(safe boot root kit check), fast(uses less resources) Kick A$$ OS. Just give 10 the time and I bet it will surpass 8, or at the very least people'll get used to it(finger memory).

    I never like upgrading inside an OS, so I'll be clean installing after formatting all my drives.

    Win 10 is just another OS to me, I neither love it nor hate it. I probably won't use it as my main OS on any machine until I build or buy a new machine. My current machines already run perfectly viable OSes (some Win 7 and some Win 8.1) so I see no need to switch any of them to a different OS at this time.

    Win 8.1 isn't much different from Win 7 and Win 10 isn't that much different than Win 8.1 so it really doesn't matter to me which of those OSes I run, they all get the job done equally.

    I won't overwrite W7 with W10.

    If I get a new PC with W10 on it I'll keep it (as long as I can still dual boot Linux Mint).

    If I had got a PC with any of the W8 series on it, I would've imaged it, reformatted it and then installed W7.

    I only have 3 machines. My main Win 7 pc, Win 8.1 HTPC and Win 8.1 10" ASUS Transformer tablet. I am thinking of getting a separate license for Win 10 to run on a separate SSD on my Win 7 PC or upgrade only the 10incher.

    I confused the poll completely! I voted my favorite to be Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7 because I like them all equally. Who'd a thunk I'd ever like Windows 8.1 all that much. *Smile

    Jeff, if what I've been told is true, there won't be a DVD. *Sad Download only. And who's to say what that'll be.

    Nuts... I hope that doesn't happen because how would people who build new PC's get a copy of Win10. You would have to download a full copy to install fresh on a new PC that didn't have Win7/Win8.1 on it already. *Confused

    If a download of an ISO is available that's fine with me,, at least. .. In the end MS has a lot to explain to clear this up.

    You can download the preview ISO from a non windows PC (and also the ESD's to roll your own but you need to use a Windows PC on VM to convert them to ISO). No idea what will happen with RTM but I bet there will be a way to make or get an ISO - there always is.

    I'm sure your right about this. Having an ISO to perform a clean install would be a great option to have for some of us.

    The last time I talked to MS Support, I was 'assured' that there would be an ISO made available for those that would require doing a clean install and your product key from the upgrade would be re-issued in some undisclosed manner of some sort.

    Good to know. I plan on using a spare W7 license and am hoping you don't have to have that OS installed to get the copy of W10.
