#2Wow, that's a very comprehensive list! I think it covers pretty much every item that makes Windows 10 unacceptable for my personal use (unfortunately, I'm required to use Win 10 in my workplace.)

#3Windows 10 is a service, i.e. where will Microsoft get its recurring income from. a) Marketing data, b) start charging monthly fees for OS features.

#4Missing from the list:
Win 10 periodically resets the "default applications", completely ignoring previous user preferences. Starts opening PDF files with Edge (argh!) or TXT with Notepad (double argh!).
Does anyone know how to prevent this?

#5Windows 10 is/was the slap in the face it took to finally migrate all of my development workflow to Linux, and my Adobe workflow to OSX.

#6>Truth to be told it's not a problem with HiDPI monitors but few people own them.
It's almost 2020. Apple began shipping HiDPI in 2012. It's absolutely shameful that vendors are still shipping 1080p.

I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone having this problem aside from that large server update a year or two ago and their "desktop experience". Can anyone tell me more?

I'm glad that HiDPI monitors exist for people who value them. Personally, though, they don't bring me any substantial value, so I don't see the shame that lower resolution monitors still exist -- I'd rather save a few bucks by buying one of them over HiDPI.

#9Very valid issues here.
Although it has improved, Windows Update is still shockingly bad compared to any decent package manager used on Linux in the past 10+ years.

#10One positive point as the article points out is compatibility. This is the single reason Windows remains the staple of industry software, across almost all industries. It's particularly relevant in light of recent Mac OS X dropping 32-bit support. There are a lot of professionals whose livelihood depends on these older apps that either will never be updated or will take a very long time to do so.
