Will you upgrade to Windows 10 on launch day?
- Thread starter Scorpus
- Start date
I must be probably one of the few who likely won't. 
Just see no reason right now, let them fix any problems before I bother upgrading. That and really I want to see some improvements, aside from the marketing fluff they keep pushing. Boot times are negligible for me, since I usually have to check something else. The whole forced update idea is silly at best, especially if updates are requiring a full system restart.

I'll wait at least a couple of months for Microsoft to have fixed their initial install defects. As this release is again being driven by a date to release, rather than code is in a fit state to deliver, I will wait.
If you need to ask what date is driving Microsoft its getting the schools refresh period.

I'll probably wait for a bit. As far as I know, there are no DX12 games out yet, and I see no other reason for upgrading from Windows 7.

Probably not. The servers will be busy and downloading it will take a while. I'll just wait until the dust has settled then see what all the fuss is about. I can't say I'm terribly exited about Win 10 but the free upgrade is nice and I don't mind waiting a bit.

Same here, I will wait for my next motherboard/CPU upgrade before I make the jump.
I skipped Windows 8 but Windows 10 looks interesting. It's also good to wait for drivers, software and general compatibility to "mature" a little in order to get the bettere experience possible once you upgrade.

Will I get Windows 10? Absolutely.
Will I get Windows 10 this year? Probably.
Will I get Windows 10 on launch day? No f---ing way!
Unless you have a computer to spare, you must be a complete fool to upgrade on launch day, especially since it will be free to upgrade for a year. Of course, if you upgrade straight away you can then brag about the fact that you're using windows 10 while others are not, but if your self-esteem is based on that kind of bragging, I feel sorry for you. I'd guess about 95% of all users would be wise to wait at least a couple of weeks (maybe even months) before upgrading.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

Don't plan to as of yet. Why?
Does not look good on a 30 inch monitor. (example tiny -> (arrows)
Still not happy with 2d graphics in 3d graphics world. (Bring back Aero)
Icons look like windows 3.1
No "real" start menu
...Bing...
Windows update is all or nothing
to name a few reasons....

Aero is still there. You still have the animations, Aero Peek, Aero Snap, taskbar previews, desktop composition and so on. Not only that, now there's not even a way to turn it off.
You mean you want to skeuomorphic nonsense. Which I'm very glad you won't be getting back. If you want worse visual design, you should get a third party theme, not demand Microsoft do it for you.

Im a power iser of a desktop PC that games and uses all kinds of apps. Things work well already and this is the most extensive user testing program MSFT has ever done. The OS will be polished by launch for 90% of activities.

You should at least name some of the cons of upgrading on day one instead of just telling people how dumb they are for doing it.
This.

Yes on the 3 windows 8.1 laptops. Can't stand metro interface anyway. But I'll wait until final reviews are in to upgrade main machine running windows 7 ultimate.

Moved to Linux when 8.1 came out. Windows 10 may bring me back.

I probably will, however I may wait 1 day just to see if any bugs come up.
