There's no compelling reason to upgrade yet.  If being a beta tester is your thing, go right ahead.
 
But I'm waiting a few months before I step in.  It's going to be 4 months before this new version is cleared to become the "Current Branch for Business".
 
Microsoft says it will begin pushing out the Windows 10 Creators Update, aka version 1703, on Tuesday, April 11, to anyone who has not disabled updates.

I'm updating right now.
I'm a computer daredevil.
I just can't wait, lol.
I'll report back if there are any issues.
 
UPDATE1: This has been a painfully slow update.
After about 1.5 hours it is done but there is 100% activity on drive C,  so I assume it is doing a defrag.
I'm going to let it run all night and let it finish its housekeeping. I will run Sonar tomorrow and report back here my findings.
 
UPDATE2: XLN is broken, will have to reauthorize.
A quick try with Sonar and it seems to be working but it also seems to be using a little more CPU than previous.
I will try it again tonight and post more details.

I'm assuming that having "Defer feature updates" checked in advanced update options takes care of delaying it by 4 months. Is this correct? I think it worked that way with #1607 (anniversary update).

"Defer Feature Updates" is supposed to postpone major upgrades like "Anniversary Update", or "Creators Update".
 
I am not sure for how long the deferral lasts.  I think it can vary, based on your version and settings. 
 
I use the Win 10 Pro policy editor to "Disable automatic updates" which prevents me from seeing the option that you are referring to.  "Disable automatic updates" stops them all dead, unless I manually check for updates. 
 
Which, in my case:
(1) manually check for updates first with the "wushowhide" Windows Show or Hide Updates utility

(2) hide any feature updates offered, and anything else that I deem unwanted
(3) check and install the monthly updates or anything else not hidden in previous step

Yes. It basically means "put me on current branch for business."

Anybody have more details on what's included that might be of interest to DAW users? I wish they would just make it easy to see a more-detailed change log. 
 
So far, the only thing I've seen is Game Mode, which I've heard doesn't really do much for musicians (at least, if this thread is any indication): http://forum.cakewalk.com/Windows-10-Creators-Update-Your-DAW-is-not-a-Game-m3589217-p2.aspx
 
Is there anything else interesting in there?
