I got a notification from MS that I'll be getting a FREE upgrade.

Woohoo!

I've signed up asap...

however, when I was taking a business course in college, I do remember the pharase 'there is no free lunch'

so, since it's free and involuntarily volunteered as a beta tester for Windows 10, my educated guess will be

50/50!

or ask directly to CL, they'd know for sure(hopefully)...

happy editing HEVC H.265 4K QHD videos.

hey, where's FREE VP9??? 'no bridge too far'

Quote: if PD is compatible with the soon to be launched Windows 10?

when the Windows 10 is available, I recommend DUAL BOOT the OS!

all you need is an another hard drive...

this way if the PD doesn't work or need time to work out the kinks, then

you'll still have OS that works perfect with PD. well sort of...

Windows 10 will not support DvD(I heard it through the grape vine) so one needs the MPC-HC or VLC to play it.

happy editing. 'no bridge too far'
