It's hot garbage - worse than 8/10, which were already worse than 7.
Having failed to capture the tablet market with a bad imitation of iOS,
they've apparently set their sights on failing to capture Mac users
with a bad imitation of OSX - and the inevitable UI fuckery would be
annoying enough, but on top of that you're perpetually stuck with a
dozen Edge processes running in the background to serve up the New New
Flavor of GUI, sucking up more RAM for less usability, their IPP driver
is shit on top of WSD still being shit, Defender is more of a hog and
more controlling than ever, etc. etc. etc.

Burn it with fire.
