Updating to Windows 10 is supposed to remain free at least until 29th
July next year, so there's no rush. Hopefully most of the bugs will have
been removed by then (there are bound to be some). Microsoft have said
that 10 will be the last version of Windows; after this there will just
be updates.

Yes, I initially thought it strange for Microsoft to commit themselves to a final version of Windows. I suppose it's all part of a now clear policy to try to get everyone onto one version, so they don't have to provide updates to multiple versions, currently 7, 8, 8.1, Vista & XP.

The fact is that after a few years of updates the cumulative difference is likely to be as great as between some previous versions, but at least there will only be 1 'version' to update.
