If you have a Windows 7 Pro DVD you can install it without a serial key and it will be genuine for 30 days. If you do this on July 29th and run all of the updates, it might fool the Windows 10 update program to think you have a genuine copy and upgrade to a genuine Windows 10 copy.
The only reason I still use Windows is for my gaming. Though, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I'm at least curious as to what Windows 10 brings to the table.
Someone said :"It looks like Linux pretending to be Windows." One "new" thing it has OSX and Linux distros have had for years is virtual desktops (called spaces in OSX.). It's one of my favorite features in Linux distros.
Interesting I haven't looked into what Windows 10 is bringing to the table. I'm going to upgrade to Win10 as soon as I can (if it's still free), but only from a research perspective. I have bootcamp on my macbook so worst case scenario I can use it for gaming while I fix my windows machine.
NP, nice... good to see that they are not shooting themselves in the foot by turning an OS inter a subscription service. Server grade OS' are one thing, but subscription services on OS' for everyday people... easiest way to kill your company if your product isn't top notch.
As a active linux developer and packager i was really happy to see this in windows 10. And yes i do use windows on a few machines especially the one i just use for gaming. Microsoft has seemingly done a great job with windows 10 as far as i can tell from a few months of use and credit is due where credit is due.
