This means at lest 110 million crashes at some point.

Made it in before the first 20 guys posting how the number is a lie because they installed it, and used it for a whole 13 seconds before switching to (insert OS here)!

As soon as I can,I will find someone to get me back to 7. I HATE 11! Something as simple as getting text to bold is beyond me.

I had an old computer that was dying. I got a new PC that has 7 and 10 features, but the email is the new stuff, and I want the old reliable, easy to use one. Other things irk me too. I have good eyes, but the print is insipid and there is no button to change it.

I’m an old fogie, I know, but why fix what isn’t broken!!!!!!!

I haven’t had this many freezes and crashes since pre XP days. XP worked fine, Win 7 worked perfect, and 8.1 was relatively problem free. I guess I was getting lazy. ...What I do like about 10 is that it has all the touch screen advantages of 8.1, and for some of 10’s glitches, the touch screen has come in handy.

I had a Technical Preview on one of my desktops. It expired on Oct. 1. Formatted the disk and installed Linux Mint 17.2 KDE. The box looks and feels like a computer again.

If you use the PC for communication, such as email, Web, Skype, then there is no reason to keep Windows. Those things work fine on Linux.

If you need to prepare an occasional document, use online services - Google Docs is free, MS Office Online is free. These work on any OS.

If you need the computer for serious, professional work, then you use the OS that runs your business software.
