I don't understand why the UI is such a big deal to people here. I can deal with UI. I'll (grudgingly) accept changes to UI that break my hard-learned muscle memory and figure out the "new way" to do things.
I just want a version of Windows that I am in control of. I don't want my machines (or my Customers' machines, for whom I am responsible to support) torpedoing themselves with shoddy updates that try to install at inappropriate times (need to shut down your laptop to put it into a bag and head home-- tough-- we're installing updates!).
I can deal with UI. I've been learning new UI my whole life. The whole "it's not your computer anymore" tack Microsoft took with Windows 10 is condescending and abusive.
