“Got 7, and keep hearing 10 is not only buggy but seriously intrusive. When can we expect it to be reasonably bearable?”
When Window 11 comes out, the intrusiveness of 10 will probably seem reasonably bearable.

Intrusive?
How about this?
The default install allows Win10 to setup a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network connection (both internal network and external internet) and use your PC and bandwidth to push out updates to the entire internet. If you are on a limited byte-counting plan, this will cost you money and let you hit your byte-limit early. They put this P2P stuff in a couple different places, so if you go and turn it off in one place, you might still miss it elsewhere.
