Windows 10 Pro "Update"

I love Windows10, it brings me lots of money! 

lol!  Well, someone found an upside to Windows 10 after all.

I still haven't tried it, and after this thread, I'm not going to.  Building a new system this week, the only component I hadn't bought or decided on was the OS.  Win7 again I guess.  If/when the new DX comes out and if it's a MUST to have Win10 to use it, I'll address that issue then, but I'm not going to install a super spy ware POS if there are other options out there.  I think every day there is some new nonsense being discovered, and the TOS are complete nonsense IMO.  Credit card info, network passwords...wtf does Microsoft think they are?

Really?  It seems everyone else in this thread got it free.

I'm not playing MS's game. I'm not upgrading to a crappy system when Win7 is more than capable for years to come. There is no draw and there is every reason to avoid it. I pay for my OS's, and IF I ever go to Win10 it'll be paid. Especially if MS starts an annual subscription type of pay scale. If I'm using Win10, I paid for it. One way or another.

It seems the currency MS wants is no longer cold hard cash. They want YOU (but not in that Uncle Sam kinda way).
