Almost Time For Us Chickens to Cross The Road

By now you may have received your "invitation" from Microsoft on you Windows 7 or 8/8.1 computer. By accepting the reservation, your computer will be updated to the new Windows 10 when it becomes available July 29. This will be easy even for the non techs among us. One MS site has revealed that in order to simplify the upgrade, your current Antivirus program will be uninstalled and automatically reinstalled once your new OS is running. All you need do is make sure your subscription is current. Yes you can clean install and yes you can manually install from an .iso file. Yes, OEM versions of Windows are eligible for the free upgrade.  If you are running a Pro version of Windows currently, get the Professional version of Windows 10.

So whats the final verdict of the One OS To Rule Them All? It of course depends on what you do with your computer. Many people will find Cortana and the new Edge browser worth the upgrade. Some will find the multiple desktop feature useful as well. Well, I think its worth keeping.
