    This really is pathetic to say how many people it has hoodwinked into this update, Also forcing people to update by killing off software or support, Win 8 was so bad Win 8.1 marginally better Windows 7 last good one Microsoft is doomed and about time too what we want is a good android operating system. Any poor soul who has automatic updates set to download and install has it on there machines waiting to install any day, optional updates not security ones are putting it on your machine with out your knowledge, Don't forget nothing is free on the internet.

      I am surprised. Considering the number of Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems that were/are eligible for free upgrades to Windows 10, the percentage is underwhelming. Windows 10 is a huge improvement over 8, but only marginally better than 7.

                        Windows 10 has nice UI and just can't compare to windows 7. BUT the experience is a bit weird for me, it feels like you are using mobile OS. Just like remix OS aka android OS on a desktop PC. But that's just my opinion. I don't like experience mobile is on desktop PC... makes no sense since you can use your phone instead.

                              I wish I could install Windows 8.1, plus "Classic shell", on my new laptop that came with Windows 10 preinstalled!

                                Windows 10 is the worst OS I have ever used! The worst problem is that I can not turn of automatic updates, so now it waste my bandwidth slowing down my data connection and if/when I want to restart the laptop it sometimes want to install a complete new version of Windows 10, many Gb data, making the 30 second restart take more than 2 hours! I did not like Windows 8.1 but on that every problem could be fixed by installing the free "Classic shell"!

                                  I just couldn't get used to Windows 10. Some of the things made sense but on the whole it was just terrible. It's like a duck. Seamless on water but awkward on land. On a touch display it makes sense but on a desktop it's like a duck trying to walk.

                                    I am windows 10 user, i has used win 7, 8,8.1 and now WINDOWS 10

                                    AND I THINK WINDOWS 10 IS PREETY COOL SMART FAST AND AWESOME :)

                                    Yeah i agree that who upgraded from win 7 they are facing some bugs, but this will fix soon :)

                                    But who is win 8,8.1 user using windows 10 they must be happy i think :)

                                    Windows 10 is best, use it than post your suggestion :)

                                      If (or rather when) Google goes desktop or we have a good linux based gui Microsoft will be completely erased.There is way too much hate against Microsoft for various reasons for it to survive competition.
