Who's sticking with Windows 7?

Windows10 is ace - can't wait..

I agree with all the posters here who are staying with Windows 7. I have 4/5 main machines all running Windows 7 Ultimate and I need absolute stability and Windows 10 is too new and most likely unstable. I am also not best pleased about the discontinuing of Windows Media Center. They almost had me and then I lost interest. More stupid UI changes so now you have no idea where the active window went. No Aero after being asked by 10K plus insiders. So I am sticking with 7.
I am also testing 10 on 4 virtual machines over 3 PC's just to see what happens but so far it is MEH. I'll stay with the insider program but I will not use 10 on a main system. Too much selling your soul to Microsoft for nothing in return.

One item that will always be an issue for me is 10 not dismounting or releasing other hdd's or sdd's on shut down
I shouldn't have to disable or sacrifice fast startup just so 10 acts right or like 7 and all prior windows versions with exterior or interior drives.
If I want to remove a drive or reconnect it in another os check disk should not be activated on the other os.
This alone makes 10 potentially data killing.

Well, true somewhat. Your Windows 7 key won't be deactivated. It is just that you won't be able to use them at the same time with dual booting. If you image/backup Windows 7, then you can go back to it easily without reinstalling. This is my understanding as of current.

I believe you can go back to Win 7 after downgrading to Win 10 during the first month. After that, your key is locked into Win 10.

I've just built a new PC for my son and have installed one of my two remaining W7 licenses. It was SP1 but still required 160+ important update downloads. I still have error debugging effort!

My own PC has W7 and it suits me fine except for the numerous fairly recent patch Tuesday updates. Some of these can cause problems - a M$ plot?

I'll consider Windows 10 when you brave people have fully tested it but still have concerns about some paid software comparability.

Seems nothing much has been written in stone on what to really expect from Win 10 until it comes out. Even, some features aren't scheduled to be out right away and others will be subject to change. I find it frightening.
