There are plenty of well-documented issues with W10, many of which are there by Microsoft design.  People shouldn't call those into question?  I'll never understand or support that logic.  The day people don't complain about fucked up things is the day consumers get steamrolled.

As for people switching to W10 eventually, well, yeah.  Many applications won't work, or work well, with anything else.  That's why Windows is considered a monopoloy.  It's not hypocrisy if you have very little real-world choice.

As for the Anniversary Update, it's causing an entire host of problems.  The fact that people have no choice but to take the update anyway is well worth complaining about.

Funny because that isn't even true.

Windows downloaded that update weeks ago on my laptop, but unless I accidentally press "Update and shut down" or "Update and restart" it's not gonna install itself.

Funny that you don't remember that MS cheated on this, hiding Win 10 upgrade amongst critical updates and making for the first time an install confirmation pop-up that started the installation also if the user just closed it, without explicitly choosing it with a proper confirm button.
