9. I've been surprisingly happy with Windows 10 ... I waited til THE LAST DAY for free W10 too

Didn't really want to move from 7 cause I love it but when the chips were down on that last day W10 was to be available as a free upgrade, my 'economic sense' kicked in ... I knew W7 would be EOL many, many years before W10 would, and figured W11 (or whatnot) *might* be a free upgrade for W10 users but for sure would not be for W7 users, so ... I bit the bullet and updated all my machines and lappys (and my Work machine at the office, which is basically 'mine' to do with as I please) over about a 36 hour span ... kinda expecting the worst.

And I have to say, it's been just fine for me, no major issues.

Sure, I don't like the spying factor but I've done all I can to combat it with settings and declining agreements and such ... and thankfully whatever they're doing doesn't seem to impact my life too much, so ...

I'll always be a W7 fanboy, but W10 is not some miserable substitute ala Vista back in the day. Works fine for me. I also use an overlay program (nextstep) so the windows UI itself is kinda buried to me, I go days without using it directly sometimes.
