I will only upgrade when it is deemed necessary, as I don't care for the look of the interface.
I'll just stick with Windows 7.
I'm not surrendering my beautiful Aero Glass desktop in Win7 for that dystopian looking pile of privacy-less and forced updates that calls itself Win10.
I haven't yet. I'm running X58 chipset and none of the drivers have been updated (they're all old). I don't know if it is worth it for the 1366 platform. So I think I'll wait to see what the risks and benefits are for it.
I'm with you. Not "upgrading" until the first game I must play is using DirectX 12, AND I have control over driver updates.am content to wait it out...waiting for the first DX12 games...waiting for 'features' like forced driver updates to be tweaked without the use of 3rd party tools etc...and waiting for the OS to mature a bit...maybe Threshold 2 will be the time I make the jump
I'll probably sit it out and wait for MS in desperation to produce a successor to its last desktop OS, Windows 7, for productivity/business/corporate users. Win 7 is still supported for almost 4.5 more years, and borrowing updates from WS2008 R2 SP1 or Win 7EC could extend that for another 1.5-3 years beyond January 2020. I'll probably use a different OS by the time Windows 7 becomes less supported by software, and I'll just use Win7 in a VM for compatibility.
Limited tests are not a problem, but wide deployment requires much more work than that preliminary work.IW article source of BofA upgrade info said:Of course, enterprise adoption will prove much more complex than a simple download. Windows 10 will have to interface with inventory and security systems, said Reilly. The bank has to create a build for its specific environment.
If this type of build is ready by November, he said, it will be tested among development teams so as to address key concerns and bug fixes. From there, the plan is to enter a phased adoption so employees may opt for earlier upgrades before the OS is fully deployed throughout the enterprise.
Ah, the straw man poster returns! Who the hell said anything about security as an issue? Do you not understand the difference between privacy and security? That explains a lot.
BoA is enthusiastic about upgrading, and many other companies may not be as willing or able to do all the work required:

Quit your MSFT pumping. It's just clownish at this point.
Still a way to go and no doubt the privacy stuff will continue to be an issue. But so much has been said about it now, up to the point of people's hard drives being uploaded, that at some point it becomes more crazy than factual and the issue gets tuned out in a consumer IT world that's been happily leveraging personal data for stuff for quite some time without Doomsday so far.
I don't see Microsoft denying it so it must be true. If it wasn't true they would have publicly stated so by now. Maybe they can get their buds over at ZDnet to put out another propaganda article for them.
Just did this myself. Should be good for a few years.Haven't upgraded yet. I want to swap my motherboard and CPU for a Skylake setup before getting the free upgrade.
There's been numerous articles with few provable facts on the subject. And honestly, who is naïve enough to believe that the people with the most problems over these issues would believe anything Microsoft says. For now I don't think this issue is really registering for most folks anywhere to the degree those who are pushing it might think. I would have to assume that there's a number of reputable security and privacy researchers looking into this thoroughly and it would be best that Microsoft respond to true professionals and not every hack out there that thinks Microsoft is uploading everyone's hard drive or gives two shits about pirated content when nothing in the over two decades of Windows being the dominate desktop OS indicates that Microsoft has done anything like that. Considering that if such actions were ever discovered that would probably be the end of a multi-hundred billion company.
Not saying there aren't issues but it's probably best to let the crazy die down a bit and let the pros do their jobs instead of responding to every hack out there and potentially making the PR situation worse.

Who cares what a poor metric of "daily market share number" is? Is that world-wide sales for all consumer PCs? Of course not, because the latter is widely known as a useful market share statistic. You would only mention the former when you want to mislead with something that sounds like good news. Consumer sales are a small portion of all PC sales, so yeah, that would be much more impressive to mention than even a 2% corporate adoption rate. lol

Because why would MS start denying tinfoil hat conspiracy theories ?
No one has proven it is a tin foil hat conspiracy - yet.
