Gotta love how companies roll out product for users to beta test.

I wouldn't consider Win 10 a beta, it's not a wholesome new OS. It's a large patch for Windows 8.

Underneath most of the new GUI is still Windows 8.1 tech. Lots of tweaks, polish, and retooling to make the OS more refined than Win8.

I would give MS a break here also consider they must test their OS on some thousand different hardware combination to ensure the upgrade works on majority of them. It's no easy feat.

Look at Apple, they only need to support some 50+ different Macs models and they can't even get their OS update perfectly.

Some companies allow people to opt in to be the test market. Doing it this way isn't the best way to do it. And while you don't think the problems are big, there are people who rely on their computers and aren't technical enough to go back to the previous version or have time to tinker around wondering what's gone wrong.

So far the people I know personally who installed it last week and had no problems, all had problems in the following days.

And no ability to skype? What is that about?

I don't think that's reasonable.

It seems like most upgrades are going smoothly. You have literally millions of computers out there with all sorts of things already loaded on them. It's sort of like "one size fits all"...but doesn't. If every product had to be perfect, the shelves in stores would be empty.

Actually my nephew was one beta tester back a few months ago before the release.

It's great when you are playing in an online poker tournament and your computer reboots because of an upgrade. Of course, before it rebooted, it somehow shut down the wifi, and I was sitting there wondering what happened for a while.
