You do realise that a UI overhaul is, for a surprisingly large number of users, essentially bricking the computer, right? And it's not just a UI overhaul; the Home version cannot be used without a Microsoft account.
"Bricking" refers to something much worse and completely different. Besides pre-release versions having a broken update is fair game in my book, surprised it hasn't happened as often as it used to to be honest.
I think our versions of bricking are a little different
Complaining about Windows is one of the few things people have left to agree about. Now why would you want to go and mess that up with your comment?

>If you’re not interested in the UI overhaul don’t install.
That won't be an option for the majority, it will install automatically as long as your hardware supports it.
If your computer doesn’t run it then it’s moot. If you’re not interested in the UI overhaul don’t install. But neither case requires the amount of wahh that were seeing.
