*Especially* if you haven't been testing the Win10 Preview.

If you've been testing the Preview, then you know what
you're getting for the money.

Going from 7 -- 10 on August 1st because "oooh shiny",
is not a reason...


I had Win 8 for a while and went back to 7, not because of a win8
problem but because of computer changes. But while I had 8 installed,
which was for about a month, after the first few days I didn't have
any problem with Win8 and actually liked a few things about it better
then 7. I did not like the "look and feel" of it however. It's
"Windows" compared to the refined look of Win7 "windows", where clunky
and ill proportioned. Has Win10 improved aesthetically at all
compared to Win8 or do the still use those horrible blocky, no
transparency window borders with the ill fitting fonts?

In the last Win10 Preview, my menu had transparency around
the border of the menu. It's possible in 10130, that
Microsoft is still experimenting with it. One screen
shot (which I can't find now), did have transparency,
while two others don't have transparency around the 10130
Windows Menu. The word Aero never seems to come up,
so I don't think they're committed to it everywhere.

My test machine isn't updated to 10130, so I haven't tested
any of it myself. I'm waiting for a slow ring update to show up.
I like to separate the download step from the install step.
If I need the test machine on short notice, I want it to be
available, and not in the middle of something. Which is why
I prefer the ISO method, if possible. I get to choose the
maintenance window.
