“I have yet to find ANYTHING I *LIKE* about it. I have found some things very intrusive, some things very annoying, and some things completely unusable”
I don’t think Microsoft ever achieved the level of usability seen in Norton Desktop running on Win 3.1.

The only game I lost and have not been able to reuse in Win10 was Caesar 3. My children and I seem to have an affinity for that game and it will no longer work under Win10.

I downloaded the games back and shut off the updates otherwise they just take them right back off.

VLC from videolan, the finest video player ever. Been using it for years. Have never found a video or audio format it couldn't play.
Small, unobtrusive, no PUPS, great software.

I haven’t seen a BSOD on a machine without faulty memory in over a decade.

I havent seen a BSOD on a machine without faulty memory in over a decade. Lucky you. Device driver bugs or collisions can still cause a BSOD just fine. I got one on one of my machines about a month ago when updating a driver; first BSOD in probably two years. The good news was that a pair of reboots straightened it out without need for any further diagnosis.
One thing I will say is that Win7 has proven very robust about fixing itself after issues like that. It's a pleasure.
