My dad has said a lot about my music, but never "spacy".
Then again, I listened mostly metal when I was younger

Even this? [^]

Never heard of her, and I've been to Estonia just last year!
Next time I should take a little more time to get to know their music

Spacey music: Orbital - Know Where to Run - YouTube
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

I had the displeasure of using a Win10 computer last night.
I hated it.
That is all.

Win 10 is better than Win 8.1
But that's like saying "being hung, drawn, and quartered is better than being burnt at the stake." 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I will choose hanging. Seems to me the best way in Terms of seconds

Hung, drawn and quartered is a single process. You don't get to stop at the hanging. They hang you until you're almost, but not quite, unconscious, then they let you down and let you wake up. Then they do it again another time or two, or more, depending on the enthusiasm level of the crowd. Then they draw and quarter you, slowly.
Still interested? lol

No, sorry. Commit a crime in merry old Renaissance England, you pay using the local currency. No mercy for the non-citizen, I'm afraid.

Caution: there are a few ms fanlemmings stalking the board.
Anyway, 10's not that bad, that is for people that don't really need to use a computer very much or do any real work on it. (Im nncluding the marketing dept in that one.)

Spot on.
It's the same as every other "advance" they've made over the past few years, especially in ms office.
"Mobile first!"?
"Morons first!", more like.

I fully agree. In addition, todays IT industry tends to produce devices and softwer not for people who do real work. And that is the gigantic mistake in the case of Windows OS. Microsoft CEOs should take in consideration that what works for Apple and Samsung doesn't work for them.

Bleh. It's really not that bad for developing MVC web apps, console apps, windows services on (I consider this real work). I've been running it as my main development machine for a while now... it's really not the worst. Windows 8 was the worst. Obviously I wish it was all 'lighter' feeling with less garbage though...

I was fighting the urge to comment, but I became overwhelmed with the gnawing feeling that my words just had to be heard (the inner narcissist was speaking to me).
As a developer across multiple platforms (desktop, services for servers, web, etc, etc), I'd state that Windows 10 has been pretty darn good for me. It is faster than the previous iterations, it tends not to get bogged down as much (but Visual Studio 2017 can sometimes be a pig), and if you ignore all those tile things in the start menu (who looks at those?), it is a very productive machine.
Now for something completely different...
Then the gamer in me - my beast of a machine that powers my gaming (sad that this isn't my development PC) is also top notch running Windows 10. Best framerates, no slow downs once again, and of course, compatibility with the wide genre of games is important. I'm a steamhead that occasionally dabbles in the Microsoft Store (to grab GoW), but not really a fan.
The addition of the Linux bash shell to Windows 10, the speed at which it operates, and the ability to "pretty much" have access to anything by just typing a few characters in the start menu is a dream come true.
For the sad panda side:
I upgraded to the Creator's Update. First issue was that on my gaming PC, my 4k monitor became washed out. Frustrating and angering at first, but I found that if you allow NVidia to control your HDR, and turn off the new Windows 10 setting for HDR, inner peace with your machine can be found.
Next, I typed a simple multiplication problem into the search bar (I use Cortana a lot for my go-to calculator), and it asked me if I wanted to search the web... That appears to be fixed this morning, but wasn't yesterday for some reason.
So is it perfect? Not really? Do the tiles do anything for me, other than serve as decorative nonsense on my start menu? Nope. But is it the best environment for my purposes so far? Yup...

Not saying 10 doesn't work or is wrong, [and mentioned elsewhere inevitably will have to go 10], but as you point out there's still some built-in niggles plus work stopping glitches with almost every upgrade.
I prefer the system be more settled, so each day when I start I can go stright to what I want/need to do, not have a highish probability I to fix something first.
It's typical early adopter woes, something I prefer to avoid.
With windows, previous versions just as much, the 'early' phase is up to 2 years.

Windows 10 with Classic Shell works quite well for me. I admit to preferring the Windows 7 UI, but it's not that big an issue with me.
OTOH, all I manage is my family's ( myself, my wife, and my daughters ) computers. I can't say what it would be like to manage a Win10 domain, or some such.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yeah, I use the Windows 10 with Classic Shell combo, too. I don't see what the big hate is about, as far as regular use goes.
I do understand the hate over the ads, and not having control over your own hardware as to when it updates and reboots, and what it updates. Otherwise, it's like enhanced Win 7 to me.

I can see eventually no choice but to go 10 (11, 12),
Although classic shell does make things 'more familiar' there's more I'd like to see fixed. i.e. complete block on ms data theft, choice on updates, banish metro ...
fixed (adj): give full and proper control of a machine to it's owner.
If ms doesn't provide these then good quality 3rd party utils/hacks are fine. Yeah I know some are already out there, but currently somewhat rusty/leaky/breaky.
(Plus just did fresh 7 clean-install to fix weirdness caused by vs-15/17, enough pain for 1 year.)

There is no OTHERWISE. In principal, what could be worse than that - i.e., buying a computer for MicroSloth?
