"why keep dragging us through the Win10 hate postings?"
Like i'm twisting your arm forcing you to read my post.
Don't like it go to another thread.
I'm lookiing for a reason to use Win10 and was hoping someone here could help me make sense of this OS.
Well,, if you don't want some of the apps there is a way to remove them. If you took the time to search you would have found this thread/tutorial: Apps - Uninstall in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
So.. that's one issue down.. now just why are you here if you don't plan on using Win10??
On some forums, you'd be banned for using the M$ for it's childishness. By the same token of what you are saying, you need to realize Microsoft, or MS, as it should be typed, needs to make an OS for the masses, not a very small percentage of users that make up the enthusiast crowd. They are a business like any other, and have a right to make a product the way they see fit. They are protecting the inner workings of a system that most users, even us enthusiasts, don't need access to. In your ranting, you forgot that Microsoft is the most common OS on the planet, with Windows 10 alone running on 75 million devices. They have to do what's best for all, not just a select few.
We do live in a society with choices, so you are free to ditch Microsoft and run Linux. I'd say Apple, but if you are already complaining about how Microsoft locks down a computer, you won't like jumping through Apple's hoops. No one is forcing you or "twisting your arm" to use a Windows-based computer.
It just seems like in many other non related to Windows software, once a dislike thread gets going it just keeps on gaining more dislikes for the product. And very little quality information in regards to the product.

What does this tell us? To me it's just someone trying to degrade Microsoft and the new Windows10 OS. Can this really become a useful thread? IMHO NO.
I'm excited about Windows 10 because I have been using it since October in order to learn it and welcomed July 29th when I could use it for all my computing. I have it running on all four of the computers in the house and my wife made the transition from 7 to 10 almost without comment or questions. About all she has said is that she likes it and has no trouble using it.
I think it is a richer computing enviroment than 7 or 8 and it feels to me like a classic already. I especially like saving Desktop and Taskbar real estate by using the Start Menu tiles. The Getting Started app has a lot more in it than I anticipated. The transition has been no trouble at all. Nothing ever pleases everybody but that doesn't seem to have stopped MSFT from trying to.
Something I never understood DeaconFrost ...
If Microsoft gives us a bazillion options to pick from when we install any Office product, why can't they provide us with the same options when we install their OS ??
Why can't they provide us with a basic, stripped down, do nothing OS, and then let US pick which features to install ??
Why force us to use a OS with mobile features on a desktop computer ??
There are plenty of other forums. The point is, this is a constructive forum. If a person needs help using Windows 10, many of us are here to help. This is no place for people who want to rant and rave that Microsoft didn't design Window 10 to their personal specifications. It drags down the goal of these forums. I'm not going to join a Cadillac forum to rant and rave about how their cars are junk compared to BMW and Audi, so why would someone do that here.
If a person doesn't like Windows 10 and doesn't feel that it is worth the cost (free), they are free to not use it. There are other options...but not ever one of them needs to start a thread telling us they don't like it.
