I really like Win 10, and find myself using more and more of the MS infrastructure. that being said, I have removed MS OneNote and Edge from my Android phone. I felt OneNote was too 'fiddly' for the sort of casual note taking I do in my real life. And on Edge, it kept showing those "YOU HAVE FOUR VIRUSES!" Popups that won't go away. These rarely appear with Chrome. I might revisit Edge if I hear they've upgraded their security for it.
I've used OneNote at work for years, but I use the stand alone version, not the cloud version. I know that Microsoft is trying to push people to use the cloud version of everything, I guess because Goggle has been successful in that area, but Googles business model is advertising. Microsoft's business model appears to be moving all their customers to a yearly lease model, at least as far as I can tell. I don't see that being real popular, especially once those leases expire and people find themselves unable to access stuff.
