Windows 10

True, but when it is officially launched at the end of July, I doubt if it will be completely bug free, so the 'beta' testing will effectively continue, but with a much larger 'user-base'.
 
Windows 10 just loves rebooting my pc when i don't want it to be rebooted. At least you can still disable the windows update service but that might change knowing ms. Why they can't just let users update and reboot on their own accord, why its such a big deal to force users to update constantly.

You think? They're still finding and fixing bugs in Windows 7.

Probably because people often think they know better, as shown by the monthly "My PC crashes all the time, does it have anything to with the fact I disabled the pagefile?" threads.

when released MS will give everybody a choice to stay/become a insider tester or leave the insider program

I would assume that once it is released, then that will effectively be the end of the insider program, at least for the desktop versions, as the mobile ones are not due to be launched until a few months later.

I am not having a go at Microsoft here, as most companies seem to be the same these days, in that they want to get a new version released and into the open market as soon as possible, even though they, and the folk who have been 'official' beta testers know that there are still some bugs remaining, or some features which do not work quite as they should.

These are then left for the 'early adopters' or in a lot of cases 'paying customers' to report back on, so they will then release a service pack, or a 'point release' to try and correct some of these... and so it goes on.

I think we have to accept that no piece of software is ever going to be 100% perfect, but of course 'time is money'... or something like that! :)

nope. they already said they'll be keeping the insider program running on desktops even after release to test new features etc but people will have a choice to stay/become a insider tester or leave the insider program to stay on the public version.

Hi



The Windows 10 Technical Preview program will expire, but the Insider Program will continue as a permanent program that will be a continuing communication link between Microsoft and Insiders.



There will be regular feature updates to future versions of Windows and the Insiders will be the first to get these.



See the following.

Will the concept of "Insiders" continue after W10 GA? Mostly so we can get around cell carriers who'll never release it :-P



Yes! We will be continuing the Windows Insider Program beyond Windows 10. (It's official!)



Will insiders keep the Pro edition that we have now?

We'll share more details soon about what will happen as we get to RTM and beyond for Insiders.

Thank you for the clarification, although it does sound like a bit of an admission from Microsoft that Windows 10 will still have some way to go, even after it is released... but then I suppose we knew that anyway really!
 
Not really, they will continually add big updates to win10 and those updates are better with testing.
Think of it more like Mobile phone development, where you get several large updates a year, that is where windows is going with w10. Do it'll never be finished.



In the new leaked build there's an option in updates to allow Microsoft to test new features.
So it'll be RTM win10, just if you select it, Ms will push updates to you.

As well as dark theme for project Spartan.
Why are developer names always better than the actual Names.

With windows 10 being the "last" OS, im looking forward to when we reach the point where the support is excellent. As win vista, 7 and 8 slowly wind down, and all microsofts attention is on 10, as well as all other software is focused on just 10 rather than trying to support 5-6 previous versions we should see really top end support coming through.

Companies will need to just support win10, OSX and well...sometimes linux :(

rather than XP, vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, OSX, linux.
 
Is it trouble-free to just update to Windows 10 rather than do a fresh install? I've always done fresh installs via USB/Disc, would be less hassle just to upgrade if it works fine (currently on Win 8.1 Pro I should say).
 
You will have to do an in place upgrade in order to get the offer. But after that you can Reset PC from within Windows, or just format and fresh install from an ISO.

So run the upgrade, see how it goes, then reinstall clean if you feel like it.
