    I'm hoping that MS will offer a "Family Pack" of W10 for a reasonable price like they have with previous versions. I only have 1 license each for W7 & W8 and really don't want to give either of them up.
    I think that there will be a low price for the first year that Win10 comes out. Well, I hope there is. :)

    Four would do quite nicely for me; however, I'd be willing to give up a couple or three 7s that I no longer use.

    I hope so as well. I can't see any reason they wouldn't. A free upgrade would be great if I had a spare license for either 7 or 8, but I don't. Along with 7 & 8 I still have XP installed on its own disk, so you might say that I'm a collector.

    I had two licenses for Win7 but I gave them away since I have no use for them.

    Think about it, Jeff. :) Microsoft is standing there with a free upgrade in one hand and a DVD costing $40 in the other, weighing his options . . . Ummm, which option do you think he'll take? :)

    BTW, want Windows 98 Upgrade and Windows 98 SE? :)

    While I like the idea of a free upgrade there are too many possible strings attached and for me at least 40$ is not a big issue. And how do you build a new PC?? If you have one set up you could possible download a copy, assuming that an ISO is available. But for me having a DVD is the better option.

    Yeah, it stands to reason that anyone who can build their own new PC would have their previous build available to download with. However, there's always a "first time to build a PC" and all of us have been there. But what if the old PC crashed and burned and there you stand, parts in hand.

    Actually, I would pay the $40. That would be great if they offered a license for W10 at that price and I'm hoping that is the case. I do have W98 on cd along with W95 and Millenium.

    The only major difference for me in Win10 is the automatic 'pick what fills the other half of the screen' thing that happens when you snap a window to half-screen; and the Notification Center.

    - That said right now... I sort of like Win 8.1 a little better when it comes to using the touchscreen, than Win10's Tablet Mode. Tablet Mode just seems to have a few extra situations it affects, rather than just being a simple drag-down-to-close motion (amongst other things). I sometimes get caught in an endless loop where I pin something to one side of the screen, select what fills the other side, and the pinned item disappears. Repin, and the other side disappears etc. Tablet Mode also (at least in Build 10061) removes my pinned taskbar icons except for the start button and search button, which I never asked it to do.

    - Some things, such as editing the screen brightness and the power button, were much eaiser to acess on Win8.1's Charms bar, than digging into modern PC Settings/Display sub menus, or on the Win10 Start Menu.
