I haven't seen a new anything that wasn't trashed by the usual suspects at first. I remember how horrible the Kindle Paperwhite was for some. I bought two, gave one to a friend, and my sister bought one and they were all fine but from reading the forums it was surprising Kindle even stayed in business. Then there was my first DSLR. I got the one I could afford at the time but according to some the pictures were "soft" and the door to the memory card slot was flimsy. It went out with me every single day for years and the pictures were not soft and the "flimsy" door did just fine.

It seems to be the nature of some to wait for a chance to whine. Me? I signed up for the Windows10. It will be fun to play with. And, if it's crap, I can go back to Windows 8.1 which I'm happy to be using now.
