I was going to post the same. Calling Win10 a hit is a gross exaggeration. It was pretty much universally hated at release.

And largely still is. There was mass resistance to leaving windows 7 which was the last release they basically worked like people had learned to use it.

Getting stuff like user mode drivers and bitlocker and all the is nice but almost nothing had been added to the core product that users themselves much cared about.

3d object collections pinned to opening labels and the only way to get rid of it is registry hacks. Who was that "feature" ever even for?

I think you guys must be in an echo chamber of Windows 10 hate. By and large almost everyone I know who is remotely techy, and even some who aren't actually like Win 10

My work laptop has been on 10 LTSC for years. I don't "hate it" but I've never heard anyone talk about liking it so much as tolerating it to run the stuff they care about.

Maybe it's super great on those surface tablets but all the techy people I know using tablets on are iPads.

It was less hated than 8 at release, so by comparison it was loved
