Only windows 7 comes close but not near so.

Thanks for your contributions to this thread which I've found very helpful. I'm usually very conservative when moving to a new OS, but based on your reports and others from around the web, I'm going to upgrade my main laptop as soon as the upgrade is available. It's a fairly new Asus 2-in-1 convertible, but I feel relatively confident most of the bugs have been worked out of W10 already.
The only significant issues I've seen reported concern those with Nvidia drivers and/or a dual monitor setup. I don't have either, so I'm not concerned.
As a precaution, I will be imaging my internal SSD before I upgrade.
A few questions -- If you use Firefox, is it playing perfectly nicely with W10? Are you using Cortana yet? I'm really looking forward to working with that. If you have any Adobe graphics programs are they working fine with W10? The only thing I'm really worried about is compatibility with Photoshop CS6, which I don't want to give up under any circumstances.
I know there has been some criticism about the way W10 will force updates on users, but I have no concerns over that. If anyone really cares, Windows has released a tool which you can run to uninstall/hide certain updates:
