Windows 10 - I'm Going to Wait

I have 3 PCs that I built in the past year, an ATX, uATX and an Intel NUC.  They are all running what I call "Windows 7.5"  which is Windows 8.1 with StartIsBack+ installed.

 

3 reasons why I'm going to wait before installing Windows 10:

 

1. I only left Windows 7 February past and I have all 3 of my PCs running smoothly on Windows 7.5. 

2. Except for my NUC, the other 2 PCs have NVIDIA graphics cards (GTX 760 & GTX 970). From what I'm seeing so far from others who have installed Windows 10 using NVIDIA, there seems to be some problems.

3. I'm going to see what others think of it first.  It seems the jury is still out on Windows 10 and the only real news I have heard about it is that it's better than Windows 8/8.1..like that was hard to do.

 

Thanks for reading.

Well, you can always switch to Linux or iOS or something stupid like that.

Dear god no, I'll probably revert to 8.1, as it doesn't have this stupidity in it, but most likely I'll stick with 10 to see how the debacles of the updates and this goes over.

was thinking that was just for beta testers, it reads that way to me,updated jan. I know it did have a straight up key logger and they were up front about that. I don't believe that they don't collect passwords and what not, im sure they dont try to it maybe just happen (notepad ect.) will give this a more thorough look over.

I would also suggest reading the one that's going in 8/1. I can't find the link for it though. It's a LOT worse.
