Info: Windows 10 Status and yes there'll be no Win 9.

[Mobhack]

Yep - a second windows start menu icon has just appeared on my 8.1 task-bar that wants me to sign up for 10 whenever it arrives. Could not get rid of it - so dragged it to the little pop up box thing that has the "cloud" icon in it.

Since I have a year or so from then to upgrade for free, I'll happily leave any upgrading to the early adopters, and then see what reaction these lemmings have to it.

In especial - I want to know precisely what applications the 10 "upgrade" deems incompatible - as apparently it wipes things it does not like.. and also I want to know if the promised "roll-back" option works, and does such a roll-back restore the applications it nuked as being windows 10 incompatible.

I'll also want a windows 10 version of start8 to restore the start menu to a proper XP look and feel - 10 apparently just puts up a zillion tonka-toy kindergarten type Metro Tiles. Not interested in anything Metro - this is a PC, not a phone.

The laptop is windows 7 so I'll probably update it first, if the reports are favourable.
