In bullet points... 
- I'm not a programmer and I was able to "crack" Windows 95/98 by myself, show how secure that was.
- I used Windows 2000 afterwards keeping it all trought Millenium, XP and Vista, not a "users" OS though.
- Windows 7 was the first and last time I was not "ashamed" to use or recommend Windows. Until the Windows Updates fiascos.
- I would not touch 8 or 8.1 with a long, dirty, rusty pole.
- Windows 9? Wut? Where?
- Windows 10 fixed some stuff but added a bunch of "call home"/"telemetry"/"sharing" or whatever you wanna call them and broke Windows Updates even more. So not even with a LONGER, dirty, rusty pole there.
So, thanks to Windows 10, I am now a proud Linux Lite user.
I don't know where MS is going, but yeah marketing dept. driven and no long term like mentioned is not for me.
Companies I deal with are all in the "cloud" hype. Until we tell them about sensitive data on out of country servers, backups, no/slow internet could halt productivity, etc. If you can live with just an cell phone, I guess you're ok with cloud.
PS: Just so you know, the last Windows 10 "Creators" update removed the Control Panel from the start menu altogether, you know, because I guess NOBODY uses it. You now have to "search" for it...say whaaat!
Last minute : Have to confirm on another installation but it seems "Command Line" was removed too, replaced by PowerShell. Arg!
