"Are there any good parts to windows 10?"
Sure, if you are MS or NSA or FBI or HLS. What? You didn't think all this was for your benefit, did you? They probably got more or will get from the Feds than regular licensing fees anyway.

I disabled the Windows 10 upgrade for myself and everyone I know except my oldest daughter, so it's not an issue.

I am ok because I have no intention of using it because it is marketing tool and not serious OS anymore.
|
|
|
|
|
oh yeah? what serious os are you using then? i'm guessin ios? whatever the os, i need 4 usb'd midi devices on it.

I am multi OS user/programmer with the exception of Apple products (well I had iPhone at some point if it counts). I was using preview Win10 for testing and did not notice any advantages of this OS. Latest Win OS in use is Win 8(1) (desktop mode only) and I probably stop there unless Microsoft will come back to earth from the cloud. Besides, latest erratic moves from Microsoft are an open invitation for competition to come up with good consumer oriented OS. Let's wait for long overdue change.

i'd say so far that 7 > 10 > 8.
if I were you, I'd either try to roll back to 7 or go to 10.
But, of course, do what you want.
you never named an os, though...

I have Win 7, 8, xp, Ubuntu, Fedora installed but no Win 10. I have checked 10. It is just 8 with new skin. Win 8 comes with emulators for GPU programming and is more useful in this regard. Win 10 has more background services running, uses my storage, bandwidth and CPU to conduct Microsoft business on unpredictable schedule. Therefore it is not even free. It is becoming more of an TV/advertisement box than computing workhorse. Because of that is not my preferred OS now. When they will provide solid, predictable OS then why not.

Yeah that makes sense. i don't support pre win7.
I use linux at work (redhat), but that's just for boring webserver stuff.
I've done a teeny bit of Android, but although the quality is there, it's got a long ways to go.

Very  cue the quote from the end of Blade Runner from Roy Batty...

Quote: I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears...in...rain. Time to die.
