but i'm confused . . . . where's Windows 9 ??
Apparently, too many programmers wrote code line "If version like '9*' then..." to identify Win95/98. Not sure how true that is...Funk said:
Microsoft's plan to generate 'want' is working though!
I'm still very much in two minds as to whether I'll take the upgrade. Might pop the laptop onto a Pro key like the PC so I stay in charge of updates, but if the Bluetooth issue isn't solved first I'll stick with 8.1.
I dont like 8.1 so I'll be going to 10. I just wish I already had a Pro install, but I aren't paying £110 for the privilege. Hopefully Microsoft will do some discounts at some point!I'm still very much in two minds as to whether I'll take the upgrade.

Ditto. Gamma test.
Will it work on a mediocre machine or will I have to upgrade? Will it run on a machine that currently runs XP?
It is supposed to work on a phone with 512MB, so it should work on almost anything. That said, "drivers" as in "lack of" may stop play.Will it work on a mediocre machine or will I have to upgrade? Will it run on a machine that currently runs XP?

read an article that states you will be allowed to activate Windows 10 with a Windows 7 key so you will be able to download the ISO and use your existing key to activate (you wouldn't be able to use it to activate Windows 7 again obviously).
How would that work? If I upgrade to 10, decide I don't like it, and rebuild my PC with my Win7 disk will MS's servers have somehow locked my product key to Win10 so can't be used to activate my Win7 install?illmonkey said:

Apparently, too many programmers wrote code line "If version like '9*' then..." to identify Win95/98. Not sure how true that is...if windows.version = "Windows 9*" then; dialog(Sorry this app doesn't work on Windows 9x) ; exit()
That would render all these apps useless on a Windows 9 machine without patching.
