Re: Microsoft rule
Good idea, although the bugs present are mainly to do with privacy rather than anyting else. By default all new and upgraded Windows 10 installations will have all privacy settings on unless you choose the custom settings option during set up or you go into settings later on. But the privacy settings are scattered all over the place and so it's easier to turn them off during setup. I call this a bug since these should be off, not on, by default.

Re: Microsoft rule
Karen, I follow the same rule. I tend to be more conservative and wait a year, but 6 months is a reasonable choice too. MS offering to give it away got a lot of people who would normally hesitate to go ahead and jump, but I wasn't one of them. The fact is, I use my computer for, well, just about everything. I need it to work, it's as simple as that. I'm not willing to risk breaking it with a brand new, not tested in the wild version of Windows. If, in 6 months to a year, everyone is still raving about how great Windows 10 is like I hear people in my various communities doing right now, then I'll consider an upgrade.
