Lately, more like several months, I've been using Win 10. Despite the fact that I had, past tense, Win 8.1 on my laptop. I no longer do. I have been doing everything on Win 10 now and completely forgot about 8.1 so...I 86'd it. Gained almost 400 gb in the process too. All the proggies I used on Win 8.1 I have on 10 plus I have multiple backups, all external. I guess you could say I succumbed to the inevitable...kinda sorta. Lol

Last year, the big lie was Microsoft was going to start charging subscription fees for Windows 10. The big lie this year is that they will make win32 stop working and UWP will only work with the store. I don't see any of those things happening.
As far as they spying goes, I don't think anyone has proved that Microsoft ISN'T doing exactly what it says its doing with the telemetry. I am far more worried about what Google does with my data. This is one reason I stopped using Android phones in favor of windows phones (but certainly not the only reason) and have cut way down on using Google services.
I have at home a gaming computer running Windows 10 on insider build (which I upgraded from Windows 8.1 last year when Windows 10 first came out), a windows 10 phone running release version, xbox one running the preview build, a amazon fire tablet and android tablets running a variety of Android versions, along with a two work computers one running windows 10 release and one running windows 7. Before I changed positions last summer I was using a MacBook Pro running Yosemite and Windows 7 computer at work. I really do think Windows 10 is the best OS I've used, it's gotten better over the year and I think the Anniversary Update will be a big improvement over last fall's update. I think all of the "A Micro$oft ate my windows 7 baby!" hyperbole is way overwrought.

It will be nice to NOT have alarmist misinformation relating to Windows 10 disseminated on a website intended for the ENHANCEMENT of the Microsoft Windows experience.
Yes, there are issues with the current OS. [as there have been with all previous].
No, Microsoft is not evil.
A voluntary 'rest' will serve all well.
