I am planning to upgrade at least one of my machines. Haven't decided if it'll be the 8.1 or 7. But I'm waiting to hear feed back from everyone else on upgrade issues. Probably do it in late October.
My advice, upgrade the 8.1. Just a personal preference, but I prefer 7 to 8.1. And if you're concerned about privacy, 7 seems like a better option.
7 is many times better as an option. Win10 has serious privacy issues. If privacy is not a concern, go ahead.
Privacy should always be a concern.
I'm not sure this is as big a deal as some people have written. Hard to decide if this is journalism run amok for the sake of hits: http://www.zdnet.com/article/no-microsoft-is-not-spying-on-you-with-windows-10/
/shrug I don't think MS is tracking anything beyond what Google or Apple does on their cloud devices. And the options are pretty easy to find and disable in windows 10, yes they're on by default which some people don't like, and yes it's the first PC OS that is so tightly integrated with a cloud service but considering everything I do on my smartphone I'm not super worried about it.
