Windows 10 “Upgrade now” or “Upgrade tonight” Ad

Well yeah, they want more people on W10 obviously. But most people who know how to use computer in any other way than social media crap will not be bothered with this and will know how to turn it off.

Windows 10 isn't all that bad after you scrape out all the useless metro apps, cortana, and all of the telemetry garbage.

Windows 7 - Years of patching, as mature as it'll get, just works

 

Windows 10 - Better than 7, sometimes.... buggier than 7, sometimes... Need to do bunch of tweaking to make it more like 7... (Don't care about DX12 and privacy issue as they don't actually affect experience as of now)

 

I'll be sticking with 7 for now    (Yes I realize for win 10 to be as mature as win 7, it'll need an user base using it to provide feedback, but I'm a dick so I'll leave that to you guys while I continue to enjoy 7)

MS is pushing 10 because they don't want to continue to support the older OS. If all your users use one version of the product, it is so much easier to just have a full team work on that product than have them switch back and forth. Aside from a few things, Windows 10 isn't even that bad compared to all the hate 8/8.1 got. It's the same idea as people still using the old Windows XP, MS doesn't want to spend time fixing an outdated OS. They don't want you on Windows 7 if Windows 11/12/13/whatever comes out.

Doesn't make sense since they already have committed themselves to support Windows 7 until 2020 and Windows 8 until 2023.

It has a lot to do with your post. You stated they will maintain Windows 7 support until that date. I used XP as an example of saying that even when support ends, people will then want the support to be extended simply because they didn't upgrade. It's not about whether people keep using it until the end date. It's about quickly getting them away from the OS before those users continue to use it after the end of support.

Windows 10 notifications have been straight-up malware tactics on my 8.1 machine, it's nuts. I was probably going to upgrade in time too, I was just waiting for the OS to mature a little bit.
