Are we gonna have to back up our data before the install, before they finally start it? I'm not so certain I like the idea of Microsoft installing crap on my computer over a network without my direct involvement.

Backing up your shit before any major install is good practice anyway...
I imagine its similar to loading the .1 part of windows 8.1. a huge download then it just installs as an upgrade. But as with any upgrade you may want to take a BU just in case.
So it's just upgrading system components then? Like an SP1 download from windows update? I'm currently using 7, btw so I don't know anything about the 8 to 8.1 process.
In that case, I'm guessing I don't have to worry about my dual boot configuration with Linux.
Another reason I don't like this: I'm gonna want a physical copy of this OS. Sure, it's free, but what happens if my hard drive takes a dump and the time to upgrade for free has expired? Articles stated that it's only going to be free for a limited time.

Its a whole new OS, I dont typically like doing upgrades. I prefer a clean install. But, Im going to give it a try anyway. You should be able to create a recovery disk after the install, like you can with windows 7

Recovery discs suck.
What happens when I want to reformat my hard drive or have to replace it because of all the crazy shit I do? I'm gonna want an OEM disc.

I'm not doing anything until the techies have had a good look at it.
Newegg had them listed at 109

Newegg might have some bundle deals so when it's finally released, I may look into upgrading some of the hardware on my rig.
That's how I got Win7 Pro. If I remember correctly, that is. I believe the OEM disc was seriously discounted in a bundle with my mobo.

"Nauti" is Finnish for "enjoy"? Say it's not pronounced like "naughty" . Love it!!! I no longer use windows, soon, yell let me know how 10 turns out
Hehe! Well, not quite like "naughty", unless your accent or way of saying it makes it sound like it... as in "naughty" the "a" sounds more like "o"...and Finnish ir pronounced exactly as it is written so "a" sounds like "a". Hard to explain.
And Win10 should be pretty good actually. You should watch some vids and previews of it. But you can be sure we all will be reporting as soon as we get it. July 29th is the launch date.
I got the icon on Sunday, agreed to the potential download and now the stupid icon shows up on every boot...yes Bill, I have drank your damned kool aid, now piss off.
