I was there. I used the first technical preview. That was good. Then RTM was horrid dogshit.
>autocorrect ON DESKTOP
>XAML start menu such a pile of shit jeetcode that it would cockblock the rest of explorer.exe from working at least on my FX 8300 desktop it did
>news about updates breaking shit and people losing files a while later (I was back on 7 or dabbling in linux again)
Those are the 2 most obscene issues I had with it. I don't remember much else.

People were fighting in the streets and rioting outside Microsoft stores. Dick. Nerds complained online about it. Then start working on scripts to remove all the stuff they didn't like. You guys complain about everything anyway.

most people didnt like windows 10 when it came out, it was bordeline spyware with 50 telementary services running in the background, ads in the start menu and the design was souless and incoherent, windows 8 was retarded but at least it tried something different, 8.1 wasnt too bad and felt like windows 7 with a different shell
