Thread: Windows 10

Yes, I agree. I only need one more hiccup and I'm off back to Linux.
If I'm honest, I was probably never going to keep Windows.
Ya just gotta try these things out.............

the only problem is that any security vulnerability that are found, will not be patched, which may leave your system vulnerable.

---- ""Microsoft has released news regarding how Windows 10 will be released.


If you are a current Windows 10 tester, you get the build first among the public.

"Starting on July 29, we will start rolling out Windows 10 to our Windows Insiders. From there, we will start notifying reserved systems in waves, slowly scaling up after July 29th. Each day of the roll-out, we will listen, learn and update the experience for all Windows 10 users."

Volume license customers can snag Windows 10 on August 1st.

"Soon, we will give a build of Windows 10 to our OEM partners so they can start imaging new devices with Windows 10. The new devices our partners are working on are very exciting, I can't wait to hear your feedback as you get a chance to use them."

"Soon after, we will distribute a build of Windows 10 to retailers all over the world, so they can assist their customers with upgrades of newly purchased devices that were originally imaged with Windows 8.1."

So hold your breath as Windows 10 will be rolled out to the general public once Microsoft feels that it is stable enough to distribute. ""
