Re: [Update] Windows 10 Discussion
I see the Microsoft will be making Windows 10 free for consumers.

About time they caught up with Apple in offering the OS updates for free.

Pushing people towards Office 365 no doubt, which makes them more money in the long run. Of course that lets you use 5 PC users, 5 Tablet users and Smartphones so if you have lots of people to share the cost it is a better deal.

Edit: In the interests of full disclosure I must say that my company is part of the Microsoft HUP so I only paid £8.95 for Office 2013 Pro Plus so I know I'm lucky in this regard.

Anyway. I bought Windows 7 from Amazon when it was £45 on the pre-order special, before buying Windows 8 Pro for £24.99 when that had it's own offer. I don't mind paying in that ball park for Windows but if 10 is confirmed as a free upgrade then it's all good.

It has a proper start menu yes.

This time it also supports the Live Tiles like on Windows Phone, so you can see weather updates, e-mail alerts etc by pressing the Start Button. This is actually rather a good thing!

Windows 10 so far seems to be what 8 shoud've been. Even the Metro apps are actually usable now they don't take over the desktop when they're active.

Re: Windows 10 Will Be Free
Has anyone tried the technical preview in Virtualbox yet? Someone on another Forum is and they say it is better than 8, so tempted to try it myself.

No, I just installed it on my main PC.

Yes, I'm that crazy/stupid. It installed quickly and has felt more like a service pack than a new OS version really. Everything that was working before continues to work, and now I have a proper start menu (Uninstalled Classic Shell) and fancy drop shadows!

If you're curious just have a play with it in Virtualbox/the VM of your choice. It can't do any harm after all.
