rolled out as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8 users
That's not quite how I remember it. Wasn't it more of a forced, unrequested, unannounced whole O/S upgrade that could only be stopped by a registry hack or installing Gibson's Never10?
Here's a partial list: Explorer file copy locks up if too many files are copied. Bluetooth re-connection: doesn't. Bluetooth file transfer was hobbled. Windows still cannot stop locked programs. No one wanted Microsoft to handle GPU usage. Event log list takes a long time to sort--even on your computer. Briefcase was handy but buggy, and was removed. Out of control file indexing. Excessive CPU/GPU use. Windows takes too long to adjust for any kind privacy--longer than a Linux install. Windows defaults to sp
