I know people say you get used to it and it works fine, but every time I play with it, usually on a machine at the store, it just irritates me and I walk away.

I just cant put my finger on why I don't want to use 10 and jumping right in and learning it in and outs might be part of the problem and maybe when it gets an actual release with all the appropriate drives ect I'll feel better about, but something tells me I'll being hanging on to my copy of 7 for a few more years.
I liked WXP. W7 is pretty good.
W8 is bad. W8.1 is an improvement over W8 but nowhere near as good as WXP and W7.
I am willing to try W10 but not as a Beta user.

I find myself using ChromeOS on a Chromebook a lot. There are still problems with it but Google has a chance of making it pretty good.
