The upgrade also has the nasty tendency to forget to restore your files after the upgrade.

I had to restart 1 computer 5 times before windows 10 magically decided it's going to restore my files now so I don't have to install and configure everything again.

I'm moving everything over to Linux now anyway this latest fiasco with windows made it clear to me that it has no future.

The only annoying thing is that I need to run adobe in a virtual machine.

Similar situation: I have special purpose use cases for Windows, and so I actually have more Windows stuff at work now than ever, but it's because the core is starting to fragment and these special use cases are getting pushed out to stand-alone machines while non-Windows systems are taking over future development.
