As an IT guy, I've learned the hard way not to jump into Day 1 upgrades.  For some reason though, I had so much giddy anticipation for Windows 10, I couldn't help myself and the first machine in my home that I upgraded was none other then my main daily use computer.  There wasn't much to the marketing and I didn't particularly hate Windows 8 like the rest of the world.  It's hard to explain.

So I got the upgrade on Day 1.  Do I feel stupid?  Yes.  Do I feel let down?  No.

I made it and finally released it.  An Emulator to replace the central computer in Omega Virus.  More info on this original 1992 electronic board game of awesomeness can be found here:  https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3086/omega-virus

In the near future I'll be adding a 'Lets Play' to show a full game played in Tabletop Simulator with this emulator.

A video preview of the emulator being used in Tabletop Simulator is here:
