I had a few minor teething problems with W10 (some documented in older CP threads), but nothing bad enough to consider going back to W7.
This week, I had to help a local charity who got stuck trying to access each other's PCs after upgrading to W10 from W7 as they had not set up homegroups. It turns out they every PC had defaulted a homegroup and you can only merged to one homegroup if there is only one other homegroup on the network. So, all other PCs had to be suspended (sleep mode) and brought up one at a time and added to the 'primary' homegroup before the next one could be woken up.
I'm connected in to my wife's W8.1 homegroup; but she is still waiting for her upgrade and is reluctant to force it as W8.1 updates fail every time on her laptop.
Despite the above, once it was up and running, W10 seems to me to be a significant improvement and I would not go back to W7 unless something dreadful happened.

I upgraded my 32bit Win7 to Win10 with no issues. After using it for a while, I held my breath, added 8 GB of Ram and did a clean install to 64bit Win10. No issues since then (other than the severe annoyance that my midi keyboard isn't Win10 compatible and the manufacturer says they have no plans to make Win10 drivers available - grrr). I just went ahead and ordered a new keyboard, and will never buy another Roland product.

I had less issues with WindowsME than I've had with Windows 10. Windows 10 cost me tens of thousands of dollars in lost data due to a bug. I remember the issues I had with ME. But at-least it didn't destroy my data. You think I could get the issue resolved with MS support? Nope. They hire chimps from the Zoo.

The formation of GE Digital confirms what has been obvious. GE is on an analytics and Internet of things collision course with IBM and others. Because when you think 'software company', think of the company that made your fridge

The Avenger's rate of fire was originally selectable, 2,100 rounds per minute (rpm) in the low setting, or 4,200 rpm in the high setting.[9] Later this was changed to a fixed rate of 3,900 rpm.[10] In practice, the cannon is limited to one and two-second bursts to avoid overheating and conserve ammunition.
65 rounds per second!

With everything from your local takeaway to fashion retailers and airlines now requiring an account, it is expected that within five years we will have, on average, over 200 accounts requiring passwords. Because whoever types 'p@ssw0rd' for the 14millionth time, wins a prize

Haven't you learned that passwords must contain at least one uppercase letter?
It's P@ssw0rd!

No, we won't.
