Ouch!
I suggested to my wife that she allow me to test it out on my laptop...
*much glaring later*
...Evidently its not my laptop anymore
I don't feel comfortable testing it on my tower.

I broke down and installed it on my 2600k tower and so far it is running well. I don't see a lot of changes since I was using Classic Shell to give me a start button in Win 8.1. We'll see how it works.

Hey guys ---> VirtualBox
I might DL it, just to see how much Redmond has F*cked up the next iteration of Winduhs.
Edit: lool, looked at the Win10 homepage and noticed the pic of the lappy with Win10 running. They have reintroduced the "Start Button" menu system & taskbar. Guess they got tired of reading all the rage mail about Win8's Metro GUI.
Edit #2: Forget the VBox option. Installer crashes in the first 5 seconds.

Did I sleep through Windows 9? This seems to answer it: Why Microsoft skipped Windows 9 with its latest operating system
