I haven't actually warmed to Windows 8.1 but was too lazy to install Windows 7 on my Surface Pro 3.

I did install windows 10 preview on my old clunker of a laptop in a virtual machine and it seems okay, but I wasn't excited enough to bother on my tablet or desktop.

My biggest issue was that it is a limited time release so maybe I will get crazy one of these days.

My other issue is the switching to subscription software that Microsoft is doing and the constant updates that seem endless.

Plus Microsoft that a user should be logged into their Microsoft account to have the best user experience. I haven't noticed any difference either way, but that is what they tell you

A couple of weeks ago I kept getting pop ups telling me my Windows 7 wasn't valid and to use their validator tool when ever I rebooted. My software is valid and the validator tool would whirl away for hours and then say try again. Wasn't too bad, only came up once per reboot, so I ignored it because I was too sick to want to deal with it.

Went away on its own after another software update.

I don't blame them for wanting people to pay for the software, or make more money on subscription services as opposed to selling the software outright, but I have vague forebodings about the direction this is heading.

Still I will most likely running Windows 10 on all of my computers in the near future. I don't need to be state of the art, but I like to be fairly current.

And I am often tempted by shiny new things. Must have some crow ancestors.
