Even if the business uses pro versus enterprise the fact remains that the employees don’t own those computers the business does. So the business is the one accepting the conditions. The business doesn’t have to worry about something like MS industrial espionage or anything of that sort. Trying to compare individual users on home computers to business employees on business computers is an apples to oranges comparison on many levels.
Yes no one should worry about Microsoft business practice

Is Siri available in Poland or its the same ? What about Ok Google ?
Siri is not blocked so you can use it, but it doesn’t support our language, and some advanced functions may not work here. OK Google and Google Now seem to support Polish.

@Mud:
I’m an system admin for a company with +100k employees and we’re moving to W10 within the next 6-12 months. I guess if it were that bad, the central IS/IT team is making a terrible mistake, no?
This may sound like a recommendation to you, but to me it’s quite the opposite in fact. I’ve worked as a Unix / Network guy in a mostly MS-devoted corporation with 100k+ employees for the last couple of decades as well, and let me tell you the decisions those central IT / IS teams tend to make usually have nothing to do with the quality or “fit for use”-fulness of a product, but everything with enterprise contracts, contacts, who meets with whom for a round of Golf on the weekend, where the current CTO worked in the past and so on and so on and a general “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM” attitude that is so prevalent in IT it makes anyone with a half-decent background in IT and tech want to… I don’t know.
We only recently got issued a “windows phone” only directive for our mobile devices if you can believe it (at a time when even MS decides to kill some of their own products on this platform), so my trusty cm13-based s3 will be the last ever company phone for me for the forseeable future.
As I said originally, I hope we’ll have a better alternative for running BMS on when support for win7 expires, and i’m praying it won’t have anything to do with MS unless they decide to change their attitude towards their customers (and their behaviour, one can dream :D) fundamentally.
All the best, Uwe
PS: I see this turning into a BMS / DCS style thread, so just to clarify I don’t want to ignite any landmines, to each his / her own etc. yada yada

Oh don’t forget Intel also… it’s in the same bag…
Also in a 100k+ clients I believe you strip down everything and you manage and proxy everything via tunneling so the trouble is on the user and not on the admin team. Also you can create a clean - final instance of a setup and populate it to all the clients as you wish… So please when you will be on the process of altering those 100k+ clients give us a feedback of how smooth it went and how many things you stopped or blocked or ripped off… In comparison to win7 for example…
oh and why didn’t you do it for free till now?

The best ever? What does it means exactly?! It handles modern architecture? Wow?!
Win-7 is also rock solid, so what. What exactly the thing what an OS makes it to the best?!Um no thanks to MS choices on Win 10 I have zero interest in it. Even at free it was unpalatable to me.
Sorry guys, but these are clear signs that this discussion could easily turn into an OS flame war… and it’s now very long time since I swore “no more of that for me”, I wasted more than enough time on that when I was young and dumb.
I hope you won’t get angry if I stop here, at the very end operating system of choice is like opinions and underwear: everyone has his own.
I also hope you didn’t take me for a MS fanboy: you obviously don’t know me personally, but trust me if I say you I work with Linux since 1996 - my first distro was a bunch-of-floppies Slackware 3.0 with 1.2.13 kernel… God bless Patrick Volkerding! -, have been president of an italian Linux User Group for 10 years and have spent many years contributing to the community in various ways (yes, even doing my part in OS flame wars that were fashionable on Usenet at that time…)… and I still am in love with it and use it everyday at work (I am an IT Manager and Senior System Administrator).
I simply became agnostic towards operating systems and am on the side of products that work… and in my experience W10 works, and works much better than any other desktop Windows version I ever tried… that’s all.
Thanks for your patience and let we all go back to the fun with BMS!!! :drink: -
That’s ok BlueRaven, as I said there’s no need to turn this simple question “Should I upgrade or not?” into another bms / dcs style thread ^h ^h ^h ^h flamefest.
“Yggdrasil” was my first Linux distro way back then, I still remember compiling GNU Emacs from source on an Ultrix DECStation over the lunch break at uni.
To each his / her own, live long and prosper
All the best, Uwe

At some point we all realize that speaking is silver, shutting up is gold

It’s free so yes. If you don’t like it, you have a month to safely roll back to Win 7. You might as well get it if it’s free; it would be daft not to IMO.
-
Rollback was not safe for me, it caused registry problems on my laptop. Had to clean install W7.
-
As for stuff being “free”, here’s food for thought:
Naturally, this doesn’t apply to free and libre open source software, which win10 isn’t.
All the best, Uwe

Updated to the Anniversary Win 10 update v1607 a few days back……all good with BMS and everything else thus far.
