Well, I do hope that Windows 10 is successful. I want to like Windows, I really do. I'm on a lovely Mac Mini, and also want to like it too. But as I see it, both Apple and Microsoft have work to do if either will win me over. I use Windows for games and reading forums like audiogames.net, but use the mac for reading, as iBooks is better than anything I've tried on Windows.
