I have to use Windows 10 at community college and I hate it.
It is such a pain not to have a decent Start Menu and to have to look up the "new ways" of accessing computer controls. And according to the article oldmariner posted, Windows 10 "updates" can change what used to work on Windows 10 to something that doesn't.
so Windows 10 users are finding on a regular basis that settings change and the shortcuts we naturally develop using an operating system no longer work.
Each time the procedure changes, it makes it more difficult to Google how to access things because what worked with Windows 10 last week no longer works and you get so many links for old information.
I do not think the privacy aspect is trivial. If nothing else, constantly accessing and sending things from the Internet is a waste of your bandwidth. It adds up. And if you do go out of your way to disable some information-sending/requesting feature, it should actually disable. The article at Arstechnica does a better job of explaining.

Refusing to allow DRM that makes the system unstable is about the only thing I like about it. It's too bad we can't sue the copy "protection" companies that caused the issue.
Microsoft's trying to sneak a Windows 10 install onto your Windows 7 computer is a great reason to turn off automatic updates. Then you end up putting off installing them because it's such a nuisance to have to look up every single KB number to see if it is related to sneaking Windows 10 onto your computer.
