Let's see if this thread can be a celebration of the good things about Windows 10, rather than the usual hate-fest. We all know the things we don't like about it -- they get plenty of attention.

So how about the things we DO like about Win10?

Windows 10 turns 3 years old... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

> ...Windows 10 launched, and it was promised that there would never be a Windows 11....

You can just hear Steve Ballmer screaming:

"It's the last Windows you'll ever need!"

Things I like about Win10?

[chrisser]

Nothing that we didn’t already have with 7. I wish I had never allowed it into our organization. Biggest mistake of my career so far.

[Carriage Hill]

I’m still using Win-7 Pro on this main box, and have an identical unit downstairs. I have nothing derogatory to say about 10, but since I’ve not used it yet, nothing positive to say, either.

[HangnJudge]

Our very large organization is still running 7

I have no experience with 10 yet

Wish I had a list. But since I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64, I don't.

Everytime I'm put in a position where I have to use Win 10, it's a total turn off for me. But I'm just an old curmudgeon, perfectly happy where I am.

Not much to like. It spies on you and there is no way to keep it from spying on you. Run a pack sniffer and see. The only way around it is to use the Enterprise Edition and have group policies set to keep it quiet. It’s my understanding that this can also be done with some educational set ups. Forget about Pro, it spies.

I’ve avoided it on my 3-yr old i7 but just bought another similar machine and it came with 10 installed. So far I’m pleased, other than fighting my file associations until I told it who’s boss it’s been fast and stable. I always banish the horrid Metro UI in favor of Classic Shell so with a few downloads I’ve got what I really wanted - a faster and more capable machine that feels like Windows 7.

So far...as an early adopter of Win 10, I like it better than all previous versions.

It has its shortcomings, but overall I’m happy with it.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I like Windows 7, that’s why I got a new laptop before they disappeared.
Did not want 10.

I like that i don’t run it- does that count?

Windows 10.

The only os to grow because it was forced onto users.

[Durus]

It’s depressing to be a PC gamer and a systems admin. Almost monthly Microsoft breaks their own OS, or more frequently, their own applications. I get to fix that, and while I appreciate the job security, I don’t want to come home and do the same for my gaming rig. Man I hate microsoft. If Linux just had a competitive graphics API we could put a stake in Microsoft’s black heart. Figuratively of course.

It's not installed on any of my computers?

I’ll forever use Win7.

I do not hate Win 10.

It has improved security:

My Win 10 computers have been quite functional and stable. I almost never have to reboot to fix problems.

The new Linux compatibility stuff is interesting, though I have not yet used it.

[gigster]

I still miss Windows XP.
