Nice to see that Clippy is back. Oh sure, it's called Cortana, but rest assured - it's Clippy all right. Your very own personal assistant, now fully integrated into Windows (not just Office).
Taking hundreds of hours of work and dismissing it is petty and unjustified.
Does Windows 10 includes a better Terminal or we need to install Putty?

Is this always an in-place upgrade, or would there be a way to do a clean install (possibly on another pc - IIRC windows licenses are per OS instance not per machine?) for free as well?
I always wonder why they never mention how the supposedly free upgrade works. From this article and the linked FAQ I get the impression that I do not qualify for free Windows 10 forever, but that I can upgrade my Windows 8.1 installations via Windows Upgrade for a year after launch, but that my Windows license is not generally upgraded to a Windows 10 license.

Are you new to the internet?
I'm doubtful that sgt would like drive-by remarks about his work.
I have been running the technical previews since the very start and I have to say I am quite surprised at the July 29th release date. Even today's builds are riddled with problems. They have a lot of work to do if they really think it will be consumer ready by the end of July.
"today's builds" arn't todays. They're months behind what MS are developing.
I don't think it's insurmountable, but they definitely have their work cut out for them.
I admit I haven't been paying close attention, but I was under the impression that 10 was going to be dispensing with that crappy Metro interface: apparently not.

It does have some small improvements ( http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/09/window... ) but nothing spectacular. I'd recommend you to look into MobaXterm or ConEmu running cygwin as well, I like any of those two way more then Putty actually.

Perhaps someone knows the date from which you could highlight single lines as single lines in the commad prompt for linux / mac?
