I cannot be alone in having seen the hype, launch and then havoc created when people rush to use the latest 1.0 version of thing X. There are FEW, if ANY, reasons to rush out and use a new operating system on a production pc - by all means install it and use it extensively on a test-bed pc...

Are options taxed on the underlying instrument (equity / future)? ie are stock-options taxed like stocks, and future-options like futures? TIA.
