Whoa, I literally just noticed an icon in the lower right corner asking me if I want to update to Windows 10.
What's the deal? I'm not super tech savvy. I know I like Windows 7 and want to wait for early adopters to either confirm it is worth the upgrade, or tell me if it sucks as bad as 8.

I honestly don't get the hate of W8.1. From a technical standpoint it's a solid system. It's faster than 7 on the same hardware, uses my SSD more efficiently.. The only annoyances seem to be with the interface, and 99 % of those are redeemable with tweaking system options or free 3rd party software. I boot to desktop automatically and use a piece of software that transforms my Start menu to the classic interface and I don't have to see Not-Metro for weeks at a time.

MS made one bad design decision with a fullscreen start menu. It's not even bad enough to qualify as an annoyance. It's just not quite as nice as the old one. But swarms of people who despise change in any form are using it as an excuse to hate Win8.
They're probably the same people who refused to upgrade from XP because they thought Aero was ugly or something. Those people were/are funny too.
