I saw that - now all we want is a nice cheap pre release price as they did in Win 7

[#3]

cheaper than "free"?
didn't they say that the cost to upgrade to Windows 10 was free if you did it within the first year?

[#4]

Except I don't want to upgrade my Win 7 machine I want to keep it and build a new games PC

[#5]

yes Jim but DX12 is only in win10 
and i am building a new PC next week when i get my parts list decided 

[#6]

Just seen a nice shopping list over on PC Specialist:

Asus Rampage V Extreme
Intel i7 5960X 8 Core CPU
Dual Asus GTX980 Matrix
Asus Front Base Screen
Corsair 780T
16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800MHz
Corsair AX1200i with red Corsair cables
2x Corsair Force LX 512GB SSD's
Corsair AF & SP white LED fans

Depends on your budget of course...

@rongtw I know that
I will build a new games machine with Win 10 and keep the Win 7 machine as a backup and for any legacy programs which won't run
Ultimately I will bequeath my Win 7 PC to my better half to replace her XP computer
The only reason for building before Win 10 comes out is if there is a really good deal on my preferred m'board/cpu combo and then I will probably use my Vista 64 bit license on it as a stop gap
@w23 - way outside my budget - in any case I only need a m'board, cpu (i5 unlocked), cooler  and memory plus an SSD as I have everything else from my previous build but one

[#8]

Could be in budget for one lucky person: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/systems/mega_matrix_competition/1

so they got a month or two to fix all the massive issues still in the OS, oh dear.
before anyone says there is more than 2 months before end of july, RTM goes final before the release date so the distributors get time.

You've hit it on the head there, both Windows 7 and 8 had an update available on General Availability that addressed the bugs between RTM and that date! Kind of a pre-service pack
