Windows 10 is ok to use now.

Sure, if you don't mind Microsoft virtually taking over your computer and only allowing you to do what they want you to do with it.

On top of that, it uses a gargantuan amount of resources, and 'calls home' to Redmond every few seconds to report your every keystroke and your browsing history.

Agreeing to their terms of service gives them permission to have full access to all of your files, and essentially puts them in complete control over your device.

No thank you!

My sentiments exactly! But you forgot the most important fantastic win 10 features. The dependency on the internet, the dependency on the MS cloud, and the paid subscriptions for apps.

I am starting to think some of these folks around here must work for Microsoft. I would have to be paid very well to speak of the MS experience in a positive manner. :)
