That's good to know :)

I doubt I will be alone.
 
Not all of are quite ready to leap before we look.

You are not.
 
No we aren't.
 
I just typed out a big 'rant' perhaps, but after editing a few things, then trying to get the cursor back to where I was, Windows Edge decided to reload the page, loosing everything, thanks Windows 10, Windows 7 never, ever, done that.

It's a new windows 10 feature. MS now decides what you type is acceptable or not ;)

You might be right, because it certainly wasn't praise I was writing. To be fair it's not that bad (apart from the hideous look) just not for me at this time. I'll wait until I am forced by either Software or Hardware requirements before I take it up.

The updates that MS offers for it OS are bug fixes and fixing security holes they find. I have 8.1 on my desktop and have gotten all of its updates to date. I don't get the notion one doesn't want their OS updated and seems to me to be poor logic.
 

I more or less agree, except, I don't think "poor logic" is quite fair. Anyone with a long enough memory will remember that Microsoft used to be howlingly bad at upgrades and updates, and would happily render a machine useless for hours at a stretch for no good reason. So this does stem from experience.
 
I think MS have, since around vista / win 7 time, got amazingly good at this, but awareness of that is still going to take a few years to become commonplace.
 
For me, I've had automatic updates on since 2009, and haven't had a single problem. The only update problem I had was when I chose to install something from Intel that MS had marked as optional - it transpired because they *had* tested it, and there were issues on some machines.
 
I think the thing to remember is that automatic updates in win 10 are not some shaky new feature. They've been running the process for years, and it's completely solid at this stage.

I have Win10 installed on a non-DAW to kick the tires on it. Even though I am in the IT industry, the workflow of Win8 /Win10/Server2012 is something I STILL struggle with. I don't like it, nor do I think it is more efficient to navigate. My company has no plans to migrate to it in 2015.
 
Since I never even push the DAW system I have, I won't be upgrading the DAW until my FW-1884 conks out. I have it set up pretty sweet, so it would just be change for change's sake. 

Just to reveal how paranoid I am about updates, there are a whole slew of W7 security updates waiting out there for me to install, but I ain't doing nothing until I get this current album done and up on ITunes etc.  Then I'll create an Acronis image of my drive, update W7, and then check everything out.  Maybe that little "Update to 10" icon will finally show up, but I am no rush to click it.  Or maybe it will start doing the black screen thing.  I hate computers.  I hate change.  I've been wearing the same underwear now going on a month.  Comfy.

I installed Win 10 on my secondary system just to get to grips with it, and the first problem I ran into was that Windows had decided that I really needed the onboard Realtek enabled
 
Took ages to work out how to disable it again and all the while I was getting their GUI popping up with a message saying "you have unplugged an audio connection".
