I will upgrade to windows 10 when it comes out but right now I still have windows 7
I am contemplating doing it too, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'll have to make sure that what I have installed right now that I still use often will still run under WIndows 10. Also, keep in mind that Windows 10 removes some features, although you can still download them separately: http://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-will-remove-some-features-and-apps-upgrading-windows-7-and-windows-81

No. They give away upgrades to anyone running windows 7 or 8.1 during the first year of the life cycle of 10. It's not a time limited license.

Oh ok that is what I thought at first but I must have read it wrong :P

The only feature that I will miss is turning off automatic updates.

I'm upgrading from 8.1 pro so it's not a problem for me. A lot of people might complain about auto updates though. But I heard they were reworked so hopefully it's no longer the same nightmare as it has always been.

I hope that they fix it. I actually prefer Mac osx style notifications. It asks if you want to update today tomorrow or the next day iirc.

In other words, we only have 1 year to decide (which is short considering it will take even longer before all softwares are ported to Windows 10)

Very few applications will need to be updated. Actually only old applications from the old xp era might break.

That's what they said during the previous OS releases about programs that ran on the previous OS. :P I'll believe it when I see it.

Ask the people who are already running the beta builds.
