I live in the home of Starbucks, and this thread got me curious about it. And when I am curious and find things out, I share.

This isn't necessarily feasible for a lot of people. I know for me, cost and storage are major considerations. Your basic MacBook Air in Australia (where I live) costs $1600-$2000 - it's expensive! Not to mention neither of those laptops has the amount of onboard storage space I need - the cheaper laptop has 256GB, the more expensive one has 512GB. That's not much! The MacBook Pros are even more expensive, $2,000 for a 13in 256GB model, all the way up to $4,400 for a 1TB 16in. My Lenovo ultrabook (which runs Windows 10) was $2,000 earlier this year, but in saying that it has a 1TB SSD onboard - twice the hard drive capacity of the $2,000 MacBook Air (which is the one I would buy, I travel a fair bit so I need a light computer with plenty of hard drive space).
Entirely aside from that, you're learning an entirely different operating system. I had to use Macs at school and Windows computers at home, and in 13 years of school I never got the hang of using Apple Mac computers. Never. I know for me, I would much prefer sticking with an operating system that I am completely familiar with and have been using virtually my whole life, because I have zero desire to learn a new one.
Also, the Windows v3 beta works perfectly fine. I've been using it for a year now on two different computers (my old laptop and my current laptop), and I have had no major problems with it whatsoever. Yes it's taking a long time to come out, but that just means we'll get the best possible product when it's released. I don't get why people are so up in arms about the long wait - you're getting to test out and basically use a fantastic product FOR FREE. That's a pretty sweet deal IMHO!

First thing I did was download the Dell 5593 service manual. Everything is user-replaceable, and I mean everything. It even has a vacant drive bay for another SSD, which I immediately installed myself, since I have spares.
To add to this, my ten-year-old Dell laptop was the same (minus the second bay for another SSD, although I could use the CD/DVD bay for that). I updated it until the poor old thing couldn't take any more. It's still perfectly functional, running Windows 10 Pro x64, and I use it as a backup.

Well, whatever. Is it just me or are other people here complaining about the v3 beta? I don't really care since I am using both Windows 10 and MacOS.

Plus I not only get to use it for free, but when it's officially released I'll be able to upgrade for free due to having bought my v1 licence very recently..

Just my opinion.
