There don't seem to be many retail outlets offering Windows 10 computers (with Windows 10 pre-installed).
Best Buy has pre-order on 3 laptops in Canada that is). John Lewis are just listing Windows 8.1 machines with free updates to 10.
If is also interesting that my "bootleg" copies of Windows 7 are not showing the "Update to Windows 10 for free" icons on the task bar. My computer that I am using Windows 7 as it was pre-installed does. It looks like Microsoft have worked out a way to determine copies of Windows that have been activated using programs such as the Daz Loader.
The BBC, in a news article and an interview with Microsoft, were saying that owners of Windows 7 computers will get a free upgrade. This is only part of the story as owners of machines with Windows 8 and 8.1 will also get the free upgrade.
However, I am of the opinion that upgrades are "bad news" and I am waiting for a machine with Windows 10 pre-installed. This is not because I think that Windows is the superior operating system or that there will be vast improvements seen in Windows 10, it is just the fact that I can return to factory settings by just doing a simple "restore".
