Will you upgrade to Windows 10 on launch day?

Nope! Was using 7 since it was preview like 2008, don't recall really why, probably because had more than 3,5GB of RAM and XPx64 was hopeless. Neccesity really. I've tested out W10 for few hours and doesn't feel like different OS, just reorganised skin with some driver issues. I will probably wait for issues to get addressed, DX12 to get essential, tweaks and apps that imitate XP usability (Classic Explorer), maybe download W10 licence before expiry date, but if not essential still use Win7 (I hope license transfer like this will be possible, but probably M$ and modders will solve most issues before transfer expiry date). Really, the big stopper for me to test Preview was lack of drivers to test it properly on my spare machine.
 
If I update to W10 will I be able to play my DVDs? What other legacy apps will also stop working?
 
Has there been any news about the keylogging being removed from the current and future builds?If not I won't be upgrading.
 
I reserved my copy and will do a clean install sometime, but most likely not on launch day. I just started using the preview today, to start getting used to navigating the new OS and see if programs critical to me work. But I still have an XP partition on my PC for a couple of games that I could not get to install correctly on 7 (something about the games having a 16-bit installer but Win 7 64-bit only supporting 32 and 64 bit applications).
 
Of course I'll update it on the 1st day :D
but the only reason im not update it on 1st day is, my bluetooth driver is still unsupported with win10, maybe I'll wait my vendor "lenovo" to make it
 
Running preview on a VM so far. Will wait for sure. Learn how to turn off the continual internet usage for example. Optimize the OS etc.

The PCIe SSD capabilities (win8+) are the main reason I'd upgrade eventually.
 
As others have said, test machine first.. Then my nuc. Then my gaming rig. The last machine being the one I'm most eager to test how dx12 handles multi gpu's, in my case 2 gtx 760's.
 
No reason to.. at all.
Plenty of reasons not to.

Maybe if it was completely open source; for the obvious reasons.

My intel nuc also has this bluetooth driver issue. It seems more than one vendor needs to get their act sorted.
 
I have been it on for months and so far it's given me few issues. I will do a clean install though when it is released.

Calm yourself down & stay on topic gramps. I don't need Win10 so shhhh bully.
You can put a free OS on a usb and 'do internets and office' fast, free and easy; takes minutes. Windows hasn't learned that yet, it needs to 'upgrade' your stuff and will still end up watching and recording you 24/7 for mommy MS and the N S of A.
 
I was running the technical preview on a laptop. Had a few workarounds to get all my stuff running. It was all good until build 9926. It booted once after the upgrade, enough to let me see the crap changes it made. Then my laptop was soft-bricked from there on out. Did a clean install from iso, booted once, then soft bricked. Anyway, I saw where W10 was headed. They're making the interface insultingly stupid and dumbed down and they just won't give up their ADD inducing tiles. I'm not excited for windows 10. I will probably be compelled to upgrade to it at some point.

Cool your jets. Open source has its place and in most of its markets it does it well. This isn't the time or place for that - this is a discussion of Windows 10 and whether people will upgrade on launch day.

Similar to what others have said, I will probably upgrade on the gold version on non-production systems where the expectation is that issues are known and not intrusive. Otherwise, the more critical systems will likely wait until after the test systems have put it through its paces.
 
I would upgrade on day 1, if they offered upgrade from Vista ... but as they don't, I won't.
So for me at the end of the year with new Skylake rig.

you can get rid of the tiles thing if you unpin everything ... EVERYTHING! from it... then you can resize it to 0. It's really sad ... as I myself kind of like the tiles idea but would like to use only like 1-2 small tile width tile area in start menu ... but now I can't :-(
 
Its free isn't it? Hell yeah! The price is right, my system is ready for it, and it everything that Windows 8 should have been plus more.
 
Of course no, I am not stupid to upgrade in a middle of week and have broken pc/ driver issues and what ever else might come with it, will wait for weekend
