I was surprised by both how quickly the update (from 8.1) went, and also surprised that it took me only about an hour ... after install ... to turn off about 100 "features." And, almost spooked that it didn't crash !

Even after removing the infestation of UI-Ebola MS calls "live tiles," I still didn't like the Win10 Start Menu, so went to StarDock and got Start10 for US $3.99 (you get a dollar off if you bought Start8).

Next-up was using Sergey's WinAero Tweaker (free) to turn off scads of festering perversity [^]. Then followed various wanderings through the fetid miasmal bowels of Win de-activaating this and that.

The only thing I haven't been able to get rid of is the display of a picture of a beach as seen from a cave that is presented until you click something to get to the log-in screen.

Okay, Microsoft, I can't complain ... yet.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
