Interesting. I have the opposite opinion. My measure of quality is how quickly i can do common tasks, and i found that Win10 gets in the way so much, that i am now installing win7 in my new laptops. Imho win7 hit a gold standard for usability in many years

Off-topic: Is it now possible to keep a Windows 7 machine on W7 and fully prevent it from being upgraded to 10 (without an absurd amount of effort being required)? My daily usage is probably 90% Linux/10% Mac but recently I've been considering setting up a W7 VM on my laptop. I do NOT want W10 at all, however, and don't want to even bother if it's just going to end up with W10 anyways (I've heard plenty of "forced upgrade" horror stories). If it matters, this would be a W7 Pro volume license.

I don't even remember if i followed said procedure, but my win7 installs no longer beg to be upgraded. Maybe MS pulled back its aggressive policy (also, i m in europe).
