I'm considering upgrading from 7 to 10 and probably will soon, but I've held back for a while due to an ingrained distrust I have for Microsoft--one that isn't helped by things like this.
Chess.com Forums: The battleground of trolls and idiots!

Their tendency to mimic Apple's 'we know best' attitude is a big part of why I always disable automatic updates.

For what it's worth, the upgrade to 10 saved my older notebook. Now it's in the hands of my kids - still so far so good.

Yeah, I was looking at performance ratings comparing 10 to 7 and 8.1, and it looks like 10 is better in most categories, and equal on the rest. I most likely will switch over while the free offer still stands. My only reservation is something my brother had mentioned recently that I need to look into. He said that there were some problems with certain NVIDIA graphics cards--one of which being the GTX 550 Ti I use. From a quick search, it looks like there's a fix, though. It might not even be an issue anymore.

The trolls made it hell, they have nothing to do with your question, suggestion or ideas, they only have one aim to achive more & more points and crown of the most active member at chess.com. They troll your posts, abuse and irritate you, make nonstop nonsense remarks, only to achive their target. they are super talented in their work and they have amazing stamina to troll you continuously for hours and even days.
okay I've mentioned some names but admin did not allow me for this and I respect admin's remark.
However, everyone knows, who they are :)

by a company who thinks 10 comes right after 8?
