There had also better be a rollback feature or else I see this as a way to force the tile interface on people who resisted Windows 8. Once you have 10 installed on your system, there would be no way of going back to what you had especially if they reassign your activation code to Windows 10.
It uses the "normal" Windows desktop with the Start Menu, but the new Start Menu/Desktop can still support "floating" Metro apps (like Windows 😎, including live tiles in the Start Menu. It's basically best of both worlds for desktop users - I've actually yet to see any footage showing an entirely Start Screen based UI, which will probably be a big step backwards for touchscreen users. You can see video demos of all of this on Microsoft's Windows 10 website, and I'm sure at other places too. 😀
Anyways, to the original question of the thread, I've got a "guinea pig" machine that will get the upgrade from 7 Home Premium to 10 Home, and then if that's good to go, I can roll-up my other Windows 7 boxes. Shame that Vista isn't supported, but I guess I shouldn't be complaining - at least a few of my machines are eligible for a free upgrade. 😊
