This change has plenty of ramifications, since now day-to-day users, companies and a variety of machinery are now forced to upgrade to Windows 10. For example, ATM owners have been warned they should upgrade their machines to Windows 10, or they will risk the security of all of their cards and banking transactions. Criminal activity is not on a down-low.

Audiophiles, however, might be interested in knowing that there are differences between how the two OSes handle sound, and how one may provide overall better sound quality than the other....
