Re: My questions
Testing W10 now:
Will you need to have a remote account (a la Windows Store)?
You'll need a Outlook.com account (or Hotmail)
Will it include Media Centre?
It has XBox Music & XBox Video apps, and Windows Media Player (but you have to search for it)
Will it include "cloud storage" turned on by default?
Yes, One Drive.
Will it be available for a sensible price to offset what I paid for a copy of Windows 7 to replace the TIKFAM rubbish preinstalled on my new laptop?
Why didn't you just install Classic Shell for free?
