If you have 8/8.1... DEFINITELY UPGRADE.
If you have 7? Hard choice. I have 7 on my machine just because a few things aren't compatible still.
I say yes. I've been running it since the preview version and haven't had any problems.
You could always upgrade to Apple...
That's ok, no thanks necessary just trying to be helpful...
Now back to the upgrade...

Yeah I was waiting for that one. :bang:
Just a quick word of caution for Windows 10 bus jumpers. There is a lot more telemetry going from your system back to Microsoft. If you are truly concerned with privacy you should proceed with caution and if you do not know what you are doing, you should seek advice from a professional. When I say professional I don't mean you next door neighbor's kid who everyone thinks is smart with computers, more often than not that is just a perception. Here is a cut and paste from the privacy agreement in Windows 10.
"Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to: 1.comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; 2.protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of the services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone; 3.operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or 4.protect the rights or property of Microsoft, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services – however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement."
If that does not concern you or cause you to pause then think about this. Windows 10 gathers information in many ways, one of which monitors key stroke activity. This technology is known as a Key Logger and is typically used to spy, whether for nefarious or monitoring to enforce acceptable usage policies. MS claims they aren't really logging all of your keystrokes, but they actually can.
Incidentally MS has always collected information and have even had some of the telemetry collecting services installed in previous O/S', however they have really stepped up the game in Windows 10. For anyone running Windows 7 and up have you ever wondered what "Windows Diagnostic Tracking" service is, or "Customer Experience Improvement Program"? These are data collecting services, scheduled tasks, etc. that have been there for a while, but mostly innocuous in nature up to Windows 10.
This is one area where Apple is currently a better choice, although they have recently (late 2014) begun collecting and storing user's location statistics. Keep in mind that Steve Jobs was not a big fan of collecting user data statistics, however now that he is gone and considering MS is leading the way, I suspect that will change.
Oh you mean downgrade to inferior hardware? No thanks!
You can turn the tracking settings off, don't know what the big deal is there.
Yeah, conspiracists and what not. Overblown.
