I am one who does not want to talk to Cortana, or Suri, or Echo.

I do not want to share my whole life, I do not want Microsft following me around.

I agree with the opinion that Microsoft is intrusive. They are data mining like crazy! There is MEGA money to be made by tailor made ads being shown only to you. How do they get tailor made ads to you?

They follow every click you make. Sure you can navigate your way through a maze of opt-out sites, but it doesn't really work in the long run.

Opting out is not different than "do not call". You get on the list and all of a sudden there is an 'exempt' list.

Microsoft says this is the final operating system they will ever make. I sure know why! It took them all this time to make an operating system that they pretned is "your new best friend".

Yes, I know I can go to Mac. Apple is the same. Force your hand to use only their brand. Exactly what Microsoft did.

My son-in-law owns a computer security business.  He told me not to download it but to wait a little longer.  Not for security reasons, but because there are still several glitches in it.

He said several people he knows have downloaded it and had problems with it.  These are people who really know their way around computers.  Of course they've fixed them themselves, but the average person would find it frustrating.

He told me to wait until 10.1 comes out.  It will.

I have two laptops

BOTH updated great

Remember different PC's have different hardware and DRIVERS

I have a HP and a Toshiba with 8.1 windows. I decided to upgrade to windows 10 and it was a nightmare on many levels. I put both computers back to 8.1 because there is still time before I will have to upgrade. I know my way around computers and still it was a nightmare. I finally broke down and got another computer [HP ] with windows 10.  Now with this new computer with windows 10 I now know where I went wrong so it will help me when I do have to upgrade.  I don't understand why people would buy brand new computers with windows 7?
