Ditto. Until I see any benefit in upgrading I'll be sticking with W7. Good to know Anim8or runs on W10 though.

so my laptop still won't update 3 weeks later, but my new desktop has let me go ahead with the update within a few days of being built... weird. :P
anyway, i've briefly tried both 0.98 and the latest dev build 1185 on Win10 Pro, and both seemed to work fine with no compatibility settings needed. ran 0.98 as admin, from the SSD, and it associated .an8 properly, and then i opened a previous project and rendered a short video clip. the only issue i encountered is that the new security system didn't want to let me run the dev build straight out of its zip folder, but that wasn't a biggie, as it did allow me to override and run it anyway.
i don't know exactly what my graphics card specs are, but it's definitely an nvidia, so the Win10 Pro / nvidia combo seems to be a good one :)

There are benefits. Not necessarily for anim8or but the latest direct x is exclusive to it. It also speeds up the boot time considerably, especially from sleep mode, its lightning fast for me now. (though your milage will vary)
Its better at multitasking with its task view and additional desktop to help clean up your workspace. I was holding off before but now that Ive upgraded I don't see any reason not to do it, its a free upgrade and everything seem to be compadible.

i've already forgotten how to survive without quarter-screen snapping!
also done a bit more experimentation with Anim8or since i last posted, and everything still seems to be working OK. generally speaking, i think i'd recommend taking the upgrade.

Ive been using 10 on a machine since Jan but also did an upgrade on a clients machine a couple of weeks ago.
I found no issues, however started seing scare stories on the net and feedback so I held off on someone elses laptop.
Are the scare stories being overcome? was it just anxious people and unsubstanciated claims?
I did have one glitch, the ATI Radeon HD 3200 driver stopped working a week ago on one machine. I left feedback and noticed quite a number of similar problems.
I did a windows refresh (Because I broke the registry trying to force windows to use the correct driver which apparently was loaded, just not used) and now everything is working correctly again. Ive yet to leave feedback on that.
Im just woundering if the general opinion has shifted in favour of 10?
By the way, MS finally realised their mistake with coloured titlebars (Why the hell did they ever remove customisation, its been part of windows since 1980's) and have allowed it again in build 10520 (Yet to test)
They made some excuse that some websites have colour schemes that clash with glass and or coloured titlebars.
