Well, DirectX 12 looks promising. I don't think gaming on Windows will be much problematic.
Also, compulsory updates seems too draconian. I don't believe that MS would really implement such a feature.
it will be addressed with an update, last night i fully updated the insider preview to
10240 RTM build, I had a live chat with a MS Sales professional and a technical assistant in their blog site, they said,
"insiders will receive that patch some days later than those who will get the upgrade from legit windows 8.1 or 7. Since insiders already have made themselves familiar with windows 10 and its features (buggy or not), it would make sense that users, who have reserved space in their windows systems with 8.1 and waited long for the official launch, will be given priority to ensure a flawless first time experience"
When I further excavated with the freaky Geforce Driver ninja update MS just pulled with their latest build without even giving a chance for thought to users if they could NOT opt for it, they said..
"we are working closely with Drivers team from both AMD and Nvidia to ensure that our intent, to maintain a seamless synchronicity about keeping the library updated at all times, is served. Only in this case we are driving it as a mandate for the initial days of windows 10 to ensure that there is not much versioning overhead rightaway when vendors will keep releasing their updated drivers or hotfixes as we come across issues/optimizations in game. Also its an observed standard in builds and releases to have operational and functional readiness with all previous releases of the same code as a part of QA.
So it is unlikely be the case that users would want to rollback to a previous driver version unless specifically for a typical problem with other API's and frameworks in their individual systems. Should that be the case anyway, users would have liberty to rollback on their own. And they will have options to hide updates in windows itself when we make it available"
About windows phone 10 insider ( as i have the somewhat buggy build 10166 ), i asked if they would be so kind to release the WP10 final build on 29th July only and make it available on compatible mobile devices.
They said, "Yes, but in APAC countries you are likely to face a delay based on the carrier availablity" "In US TSPs are looking forward for a day-zero initiation"
I asked if in India will it suck to wait for the update in my Lumia for long. He said "probably yes."
