Microsoft keeps updating Windows 10 every 6 or so months, does this mean, there will be no more OS upgrade?

The finale...

At least one thing, Microsoft is saving us money by not purchasing an upgrade with free updating of Windows 10. You might say, the OS is upgrading with fine tune tweaking. For example, now you can save in the clipboard via the cloud.

Remember that this is touchy area.

Some are so upset by the changes they can wait to flame about it. At the office and home when the free upgrade to W10 was on we delayed for a long time but after testing it worked so well that we took every machine we had to moved forward. Result? Not one last piece of hardware or PC. There are a few that were not so lucky but my bet is they didn't have our resources.

Many are having problems...

by looking at the posts, it seems there are a few who are having problems with the updates. Especially, the one about his computer not shutting down properly.

At our office and home, not one problem.

But we can deal with drivers and have been since Windows 2.x. The folk that take this on expected "it just works." This has never been true and you can find problems like this in ALL Windows versions.

For some this meant it's time for Linux or Apple.

Here? Not a single issue. Mind you I don't call a driver issue an issue here. Microsoft didn't make any of the models we have so we know where to get drivers. Joe/Jane might have issues but they would have issues on Windows 1.0 to 10.

what was newly added were nothing more than bells and whistles. There was nothing substantial.
