I disagree with your opinion that Microsoft are not heading in a great direction. If you look beyond the norm of Windows 10, Office and Surface....you would see that there are numerous projects Microsoft are working on or collaborating with that will definitely benefit the world in the years to come. One example is that they have invented a wristwatch that will allow people with Parkinsons Disease to write without having to battle with their tremors. Do you not think that's a great step forward?

With regards to your opinion of Windows 10, I think referring to it as "a bug infested piece of crap at launch" is said without merit. As with anything new whether it be a new system, new product or service you are going to experience technical problems in the first few months or year. That is how things are tested, on real people and in the real world because you will get a totally different outcome compared to testing it in a virtual environment because that is controllable. Real life isn't.

Windows 10 is a very sophisticated operating system combining Windows 7's great features & Windows 8's modern app interface. Most laptops these days are far superior compared to laptops that were out when Windows 7 was around about 5 years ago. Things change, technology moves on and we have to adapt to it and embrace change not resist it. There are many great features in Windows 10 that make it a great operating system....

Let me ask you an honest question. Have you used Windows 10 and all its features to the full extent? I would imagine not as you've come up against some error messages or blue screens and instantly made the assumption that, compared to Windows 7, it isn't a great operating system.

Microsoft are not forcing you to use any operating system in favour of another. It is the way technology is moving forward that people upgrade. People demand more from their technology these days and because people are leading more hectic lives where time is important to fit everything in, it is more about convenience and time saving than being "forced" to upgrade and use new operating systems or technologies.

Thank you for replying with your opinion though.
