Windows 10 is very, very good to me. I have it on a desktop, a new touch screen laptop, and an 8-year old laptop. The desktop and old laptop upgraded easily from 8 to 10.

Yup. Windows 10 is excellent - rarely anything more than the odd hiccup. Running it on a i3 laptop with 8gig of RAM.

Found W 10 useless, when compared to Window 7. Ended up removing it within 3 days. But then I had disabled all their snooping services, so that may render it less functional.

The snooping services are easily turned off. I find it the most stable Windows I have ever worked on.

Microsoft have recently released what appears to be a major update. I've yet to test it out fully, but it has at least kept my old privacy settings.

I am using 7, on a probably 10yr old laptop. I avoided Vista and 8 like the plague they were, and 10 didn't appear to me to be substantially different to 8, seems to me like it is designed for touch screens and swiping motions, better suited to phones and tablets.

Maybe that opinion is outdated now? I know I can't have 7 again when I replace this laptop, and am glad it has lasted this long ( go HP!) but I suppose if the opinion now is that 10 is a stable platform, it is not worth trying to wait it out hoping people will demand a return to a pre-8 style of operating.

Well I would have agreed with you and I had two machines running seven. I wanted a new machine one more towards the top end of the market but it came with Win10 and I have not been sorry although with such a powerful machine which this thing is I think any system would run ok.

Most of work is kitted out right now with surface pros, but there's been a lot of moaning about the OS, with one dev switching now to Mac, and some suggestion that the team might all be jumping ship to UNIXes.

Do not get windows 10! Super SUPER slow compared to windows 7 although 7 was virus prone and 10 seems to do well without any special antiviral protection.

Windows 10 saves you money since you don't really need antiviral software BUT over several months, say 4-5 months , it does slow down some. At that point i simply Restore back to original condition and it speeds things up again.

Windows 10 has been such a disappointment. Did I mention SLOW!
