My old laptop upgraded to Win 10 last night. I have other devices already on Windows 10, so I was prepared for the initial "press this, press that". After that, the new operating system worked pretty well; all my stuff was where I left it, all the old programs worked, etc. And the machine seems a little faster, which is probably from the comparison to Win 7, which really has not been supported lately.

Microsoft can do a good job when it does the stuff it knows how to do.

Happily, all of the applications and printer still worked after this hijack of this machine. And yes, Microsoft can sometimes write some pretty good code after several attempts. But that is not my point - arrogant Microsoft has mistreated their customers for many years. I have used their OS since DOS 2.10. I evolved over time from being a big fan to a severe critic because of the way they treat their customers. In my determination to escape Microsoft and its abuses, I found some software that I actually prefer using more: Linux.
