RTM/GA or Insider - What are you going to do?

"Desktop apps such as news, sport, finance etc, are not working, certain pages on edge either stutter or lock solid, I could mention more but think it best that you try comparing for yourself."

All of this is working perfectly on the Insiders Version, no problems on any of it. It works just as well as the final clean install of Win 10 I have on another computer.

Over here in the UK certain features are not available, for example Cortana which effects a few apps such as already quoted.

What "pirated" version is he talking about? The Insider Preview????

Instead of addressing the person concerned who made the above statement "Is he talking about?" implies a personal opinion inviting others to ridicule mine.

Your post is laced with cynicism (how many question marks do you need for emphasis). I replied to your post in kind.

As for further personal attacks...really rather sad.

I'm going to stay an insider with my less important laptop. :) If something goes wrong with that one, it's not a problem. However, my main PC and laptop will only get the RTM option.

No time for this.

was puzzled also by the post you referenced. perhaps if responses were threaded to what one responded to, it would be easier to understand what members are referring to. I imagine designing a Forum would be somewhat challenging, so hopefully suggestions for improvement would be accepted as intended, in a positive light.

AFAIK eligible, which I understand to be legit whether msdn or retail or oem, versions of 7 or 8 lead to legit 10, and that insiders lacking such who are nonetheless insiders can keep a running win 10 also. Other running instances of 7 or 8, those that are on new mobos compared to where first installed, or those never legitimately activated, would not qualify. given the falling costs of modest equipment and typical behavior, i do not think ms anticipates sustaining a win 10 license for longer than the support life of ten years, and perhaps for less than that, 'device life' is a matter of perspective but it clearly means something other than 'does it still work' or 'do i still own it'...

I am keeping one installation on the insider program. All other systems exxcept an older laptop have already been upgraded to 10
I am also running Insider in a VMWare vm and will to contine to.

I think I understand where the Insider program is going. As Windows morphs toward Windows 365 the Insider program will become a test bed for the delivery and manintenance systems that will make W365 work. Windows is already becoming a service. The next logical step is 365, which is already in place for Office. Changes often show up first in Office (activation, dropping upgrade editions, etc have all appeared in Office first). I am staying in Insider with at least one installation so I can watch the fun.

You didn't give a choice for both. I keep with the upgrade on my main pc (and a laptop) and continue with the insider prg on my spare.

That's what I told him! :) A long time ago.
