Exactly, but I think some people have been confused by what the "up to a year" bit means. Just to clarify, if you upgrade within the year, you have the OS for free for the life of the device, you don't have to pay for it after a year.
Ah fair point! Hadn't thought about that part. Granted, I read every article about Windows 10 release before buying my laptop that has Windows 8.1 just so I knew what I was getting into
No worries, I've done a lot of reading too and see the same comments every time about the one year thing. So I figured I should add that little detail to prevent any potential misconceptions.
Performance has been better than 8, the layout is awesome, start menu is back (and IMO improved), modern UI improvements, really good computer wide search built into the task bar, built in modern apps are well made and simple, but also not required by any means and not obtrusive.
Overall, I can do what I want with it, it runs well, looks great, and I really have no complaints. Not sure what more I could ask for in an OS.
Be careful, if you're too well written or approve of the product too much someone will accuse you of being a PR rep. Better say something bad about W10 before somebody sees.
If its free, I will upgrade. I think my business laptop will be upgraded automatically.
Are you saying that your business isn't still running some long outdated and unpatched version of windows? I envy you sir.
If you have a laptop with Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 you can get a free upgrade for up to a year (I believe) after they release it.

If you're running a non-genuine version of these OS's, this should be an interesting read for you.

I've been upgraded for months.
In my opinion, it is really, really good.
What's so good about it?
