This seems to be a good synopsis of the overriding issues concerning win10

I happily use xp[tablet edition] and win7 daily in my work and I think I'll just keep it at that for the foreseeable future until they have reined in this runaway train. Give it a bit...maybe a few months ..maybe a few years ...after they get everything sorted out...and windows 10 may be a great choice then...
Hehe...I remember back when xp and then when win 7 came out ...
I vowed I'd never run them...given time they improved ...
improved so much I couldn't resist them ...
darn handy for a great deal of my work
I do hope they turn things around...because now my issues aren't with learning a new platform as much as privacy, and what I'm allowing MS to control , manipulate or dictate in my life if I use the new product at this time.
