The spying and intrusive "update" downloads are all absent, and I doubt there is any user benefit from the newer OS. Experience with my wife's Win 8 laptop cured me of any pretense that newer was better. She is forever complaining that she cannot do anything because the damn thing is downloading some update.
Actually I only open Windows WHEN NEEDED.
The ‘internal Windows computer’ is never started until I need it, then I shut it down.
I, personally, am NOT concerned by any NSA snooping (NOT that I want it!) - I know my computer is well configured and robust.

I think at this point MS has a serious trust problem- I know that there are a lot of like myself who were so totally put off by MS pulling the crap they did that we either went to a new OS or have reverted back to older versions of windows-
While this is a good first step for MS- it’s going to take a long long time before many people begin to trust them again- Getting rid of ALL spyware in MS windows would be a good start- give people back control over their OS (with option to have everything automatic IF the person wants it)
