If Microsoft decides not to extent the free windows 10 upgrade, you may very well be right. I assume by the end of the week, that the url and the link will be removed.

But maybe, just maybe, it could be that Microsoft decides to extent the windows 10 update.
I doubt Redstone will be an awful OS update, because if it would be, all the negative publicity would certainly delay users that still use windows 7 and are still thinking about updating to W10.
But i personally would not be surprised if some of the privacy settings are no longer accessible after the redstone update.

For those interested about the upcoming windows 10 update :

I have w10 home running for 2 weeks now, and it is rock stable. No crashes or strange behavior. Although i did noticed that when stacked explorer shells are placed on top of each other with a little offset, it is impossible to choose the covered explorers because clicking on the side of the covered explorer does not give it focus and does not make it come up. But it is manageable.

At first i was reserved about the by other users mentioned speed improvement and the responsiveness improvement that windows 10 has over windows 7 and i have to say it does seem to respond faster most of the time. But sometimes, when i click on a directory, it takes a 2 to 3 seconds before i can access that directory. I did not know why, and it does not happen all the time.
I was looking at power savings and noticed that my hdd drive will be shut down after 20 minutes of in activity. That could be the issue but i have not confirmed it yet.
I guess it is a good thing to check everything in w10.
But overall, i am happy i made the jump. I have this feeling that my pretty modern hardware is used much better by the W10 OS. ^_^
