There is a small icon on the lower right side of my monitor telling me to get Windows 10. But I am too scared to click it.

Yeah I noticed that this morning too. Not clicking though. (Not because I'm scared, but because DO NOT WANT)

@OP
Why do you need to reserve a copy of it? It's only a download.

Any of us could find out, just by clicking that icon...
Somebody needs to take the plunge and report back.

Some Microsoft guy was saying in the newspaper that you should reserve it because:
"One of things that we can do for people who reserve is pre-download some of the bits to their PC so that those people aren't blocked on the Internet pipe trying to deliver lots and lots of Windows bits starting on (July 29)."

looking at the screenshots alone makes it seem like its going to avoid the major pitfalls of 8
my only issue is it seems like its made for wide screens and my monitor is 5:4 like its the fuckin 80s

All but one of my PC/Laptops are running Win7 Enterprise editions so the IT dept that manages Win7 will take care of eventual update to 10
The computer I am on currently is Win 8.1 AND I will NOT reserve a copy because:
I want to update Months after most have. With MS history of bugs on updates and bugs on new releases - I want those bugs ironed out b4 I hand this computer over 2 Microshit.

so far i've heard that the performance increases are real. 8 was marginally better than 7, but 10 apparently is a no brainer. you upgrade.
and with DX12 it's probably going to be the next XP

oh, you just click it and it reserves it and then you can have it send a confirmation email if you want. but actually just clicking reserved it for me, no like "are you sure you want to do that," i clicked it and it asked if i wanted a confirmation email. so i guess that's it, nothing really to fill out or do. just click it and it'll be done.
oh yeah, and it's still there even though i already clicked it, but now when i click it it tells me what i'll get for having done clicked it already.
