Win10 has been quite stable in VirtualBox on my MacBook. Maybe they should give up on hardware :)


On my surface pro I got several blue screens, something I rarely got with Windows 7. I also got some blue screens on a new supermicro server running windows 10, which I find even less amusing.


Why did you install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro (Touch Device) in the first place? Does the Pen etc even work? Afaik Surface Pro came with at least Windows 8 pre-installed.


I didn't. I meant having blue screens on devices with Windows 7. I only ever got blue screen on windows 7 machines when debugging multi-threaded apps with Visual Studio. On Windows 10 it is way to frequent even when not doing anything specific.

Windows 10 adds some improvements over windows 7, like hyper-v and http2. But in my experience it is nowhere as stable.
