I've honestly had a strange experience with Win10. On my home PC I built I installed Win10 from an OEM disk (not the off the shelf edition) and I'm not sure if that made it different, but I loved it then. Worked flawlessly, just deleted the stupid XBox icons and was never bugged again.

Then I got a work issued laptop with Win10, and it's been ATROCIOUS for me. I don't have any ads or whatever (is this gonna be a new feature?) but my permissions model is royally screwed. For instance, I had to activate root administration controls on my user, cause you know, it's my computer. And some how because of this, I can not run the built-in Calculator app. That's right, can't run the calculator because I'm an admin. I had to write my own. So it's been hit and miss. But so is my story with every OS.
