I'm planning to upgrade my notebook since it came with Windows 8 anyway, I assume Windows 10 can't be worse, and I can only get the free update for one year. I'm making a backup of the system partition first just in case I still prefer 8. (I could use the recovery partition in theory, but than I'd have to install so much stuff again, update to Windows 8.1 again, ...)
OTOH I was thinking about installing Windows 7 but I just didn't bother so far.
With a computer running Windows 7 I'd probably update to get Windows 10 free and than continue using 7 until extended support runs out, except maybe for trying out DirectX 12.
My company notebook is not my decision anyway, that's running Windows 7 Enterprise. I don't know if my company will opt to use Windows 10, we mostly skipped Vista (except for a few special machines) and used XP until 7 came out.
