Forced into a reservation?

[AndyCalling]

But when you have a touch desktop as well as touch on your other devices then the equation swings the other way. Win8 is still the king of touch. Yes, it did need some tweaks for legacy non-touch device users. If MS had concentrated on that then fine. None of the changes with W10 that help desktop users needed the touch features removing, choice could have been offered. As I mentioned in the OP however, offering choice seems no longer to be acceptable to MS. I cannot see that as a good move, from a customer perspective. If I cannot have choice, then I will not be playing MS's game. I will wait them out, as W8 is still the best touch OS out there so no reason to downgrade back to a desktop oriented experience.

I've reverted my TransformerBook to Windows 8.1 Update and now have the icon sitting in the tray as well. It didn't pop up automatically though, it just sits there waiting for me to click it. In addition when launching Windows Update via control panel there's also a large banner notification about Windows 10 but once again, not intrusive and no hassle at all.

"reservation icon" is just a miniature one, if you, generally speaking, have a problem with it there is a chance you have a problem with battery indicator,volume controller,date/time , notification flag , internet icon (that has been there for ages),so do you?

And if this can be removed ,its more of a suggestion from MS , they are not forcing you at all.

I saw a lot of posts all over the net from people who did not have the icon and asked how to get it.
And one of the reason's they did not get it was because the PC was not updated.
So one extra advantages of this free offer from MS is also that people update there PC with the latest updates.
