Many people don't understand Win10 and keep treat it like it's an
updated version of XP. As a result they create most of the problems they
have for themselves and then whine about it on the internet. I've used
and supported several machines running Win10 for over 2-1/2 years
without a single problem on any of them because I saw what was coming
and how to manage it during the Windows 8.x years. So, even though Win10
is my least favorite version of the OS, I can't say that it's
functionally any worse than earlier versions.

FWIW, there have been different "editions with different abilities and
limitations" since Windows 3.1, so that also isn't anything new.

I've never thought it was an updated v. of WinXP. Far from it.

I jumped to Mac because of a fiasco called Vista. Vista broke Windows
for me and for many. (Linux proved to be a disaster for desktop use).

I hope I never have to rely on Windows ever again other than as VM'd
machines to support legacy s/w. And that will of course have its day too...
