You really don't have to follow every trend if it's kind of obvious it will be a dud. Windows 95, Windows ME, Windows Vista, Windows 8 - all of these versions were half-baked affairs that either went too far in the wrong directions or not far enough.Windows 10 is kinda different because it's supposed to be the last version of Windows we'll ever see - Well, we'll see <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Personally, I'm 100% sure, there'll be a new version eventually. It's just a question of how many years it will take. The problem is that 'living' software doesn't age well: Adding more and more features to a software, changing and fixing code in several iterations will inevitably lead to clunky code that is hard to comprehend and maintain until you reach a point where it's simply better to start from scratch.Waiting before you upgrade still makes sense because Windows 10 is basically incomplete: While you can already work with it, it's still lacking many of the features that were promised.Another issue is incompatibility with hardware you may currently use. Imho, it's always best to start using a new OS when you also get a new PC.Ideally, you have access to several PCs, so you can give Windows 10 a try while keeping a stable, well-known OS version on your main PC.</blockquote>
