There is no Windows 10 update until 29 July...
Microsoft decided to remind you that there is an awesome new operating system in the making 
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I will never upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 as I use Windows 8.1 
But yeah my answer is pretty much the same as anyone else's. I have reserved the upgrade - will see what happens when it comes out.
I'm considering using an instance of Windows in a virtual machine and testing it there, just in case

I got that button yesterday on my lab PC (win8.1), but (1) I didn't reserved the upgrade yet, and (2) I don't think to upgrade on THAT PC: I need it for my job.
In the past, I made two Win7-to-Win8 upgrades (not free, BTW), and on both the PCs the result were pretty unstable. Some of the personal folders got semitransparent, and by clicking on them a strange "the folder does not exist" message pops up all the times.
Moreover, none of those two PCs were (still are) able to install the 8.1 upgrade.
I'll try Win10 on a secondary PC (maybe at home), or on a clean installation only.
My suggestion is...to wait!

Yep. Best avoided.

My wife did but she is using Win 8.1
I'll probably stick with windows 7 for a long time unless there are some fancy feature I must have or major performance gain.

Never "upgrade"; always start with a clean disk.
I dabbled with a CTP of Win 10 in January. It seemed a lot like 7. I might switch to it in a few years.

A bit early (and an easy one) I know, but here it is:
Remove underpants so that the government probes you! (8)
And oh, I almost forgot, those morons have implemented a new policy and have started blocking everything that is delivered from a CDN. So, that means scripts, images, etc from Cloudfront and DeveloperMedia are blocked now. You can easily guess what layout of CP (and almost every site I visit) I am currently seeing now. Oh yay!! 
-- EDIT: Hint
The subordinate conjunction doesn't contribute to the clue.

Indeed, I have HTC Touch (Windows Mobile 6.1) and HTC Wildfire S (Android 2.3). They are very much friendly!

Oh crap. Now I can't get the word Vaseline out of my head!

I am sorry, but are you implying "Vaseline" as the answer? 
If you are, it's incorrect.

remove underpants would be debrief not debriefs, shirley?
And the probes you I get, but why government?

Why not Government? It has to be someone to whom you are required to report! In professional clues you'd probably be required to indicate that Government was an example by inserting a 'say' or a 'perhaps' but if there's one thing WSOCCC ain't .... !

That's a ridiculous answer!
Just shoving extraneous words into a clue that have no meaning in the answer isn't just a case of 'why not'!
"gegs was a rabbit that ate canteloups" is not a good clue for 'scrambled eggs.

Thou dost insult me sirrah - I will have satisfaction! (Where's the 'glove slap' smiley when you need it?)
It's not an extraneous word. Or are you suggesting that 'so that probes you' would be a better alternative? I'm not holding it up as perfect but given that there needs to be a subject for the verb it's as good as any. I would have avoided that construction altogether if I'd written the clue and if you must go down that route I would have preferred 'Government, for example, probes you' but it's not extraneous in the sense that you imply in your example (and, by the way, there is some doubt in crossword circles that 'gegs' is a good clue for 'scrambled eggs' either). It is an example of the sort of institution that regularly debriefs which, in this construction, is what you need to make the sentence sensible.

One meant no insult - I was just pointing out that your statement was drivel!
