[[I have read that Win 10 has had the slowest adoption rate of any MSFT OS. Interesting chart from]]

No doubt due to the damned ‘phone home’ crap in the OS- typical home users won’t care, or even know about it- but them ore experienced users stayed away from 10 for that very reason- andm ore are likely to not get it now that all the spying crap by the government and google and such has been revealed-

Three things, primarily, are stopping me from upgrading from Win 7 to Win 10:
  1. MSFT's over-intrusive telemetry.

  2. I no longer have any say about what updates are applied to my machine.

  3. MSFT's increasingly snooty attitude:

    • "Bend over here it comes whether you're ready or not."

    • "We'll decide which processors will support our software."

I'm using Win 7 with all updates turned off, good firewall and AV software installed. Make daily and weekly backups. Clone the system drive once a week. Careful where I go on the 'Net. Delete, without opening, suspicious emails I'm not expecting.

No problems.
