IMHO -
Microsoft has to stop pushing bloat/new features and make this OS rock-solid and easy to use.
It's been far too long with the wrong strategy.
Enough said.

MS is an entirely benevolent institution - it wishes to keep an increasing number of IT admins in ever more lucrative jobs by creating a state of perpetual and ever-increasing panic.
MS do create opportunities because of the underlying hardware tech and of course their OS. Of course there are other OS alternatives but love it or hate it Windows is most people know about.
I could do my job on Linux as its entirely browser based but I prefer Windows.
Linux also has its, the good, the bad, and the ugly side. I'm not picking sides, just saying it isn't all roses there either.I have more Linux computers here at home but thats only because my Raspberry Pi's outnumber my Windows PC's.
My daily user is Windows. Web browsing forums etc. My Raspberry Pi's get used for things not really suited to a Windows PC. A lot of my Pi projects run headless and unattended once all setup. Good or bad the OS on my Pi's, Raspbian, only gets updated when I manually chose to do it. They never auto update on their own. I'm fine with that though.
The only maintenance I do on my PCs is to run Disk Clean Up occasionally to clean up system files, in particular the update backups. I see 18GB as a typical Windows folder on all my PCs, Windows 7 or 10. They are all standard full installs.
Windows 7 x64
1803 Pro x64
1809 Home x64
This last one started off with Win7, took the free upgrade to 10 and has been upgraded through each version of 10 as it was released.
Hi there
I think some of the old Chrome Netbooks were essentially browser based -- I suppose you can call variants of Android as Linux derivatives -- however most sysadmins or I.T people that I've dealt with seem to spend a lot of time with the CLI / Scripts etc rather than using the GUI in the first place unless repairing some users PC.
