Has anyone here upgraded from Win 7 or Win 8 and, if so, what do you think?

I will be the last man standing on Win 7 until I hear hundreds of
enthusiastic reviews and find some compelling reason to convert. I'm
very negative on the way Microsoft is trying to push this upgrade on
to people, and I deeply resent their changes to the desktop interface.

I am pretty much in agreement with you but I also recognize that
eventually the change will *have* to be made.

Microsoft is really pushing this upgrade, even to Win 7 users (like us)
who have no complaints or issues. I wonder why.

I agree about the desktop interface. I dislike Win 8 and it's revisions
primarily due to this. I am not a tablet user nor much of a
smart phone user, so the "swiping" of stuff on a computer screen annoys
me. Much more of a point and "click" type.

My Win10 desktop looks like Win7 which looked like XP.
Except for colorized app title bars, which I haven't
bothered to change.
There's some work involved. I'm happy with Win10, though
if you want "privacy" - whatever that means - you have to
disable certain switches.
If you like Win7, stay with it. Stability is about equal.

Thanks. Good input and advice.
