The Windows 10 upgrade process is what finally pushed me to Linux on the desktop. As with any upgrade, I figured I'd wait a while for the dust to settle (Ars' articles on the privacy-invasive nature of Windows 10 made me a little nervous, but I figured that'd get fixed with time). Unfortunately, Microsoft have been extremely aggressive about getting users to move. The 8.1 update that encourages you to upgrade also downloads a copy of Windows 10 -- which, on a small SSD, was frustrating. So, I removed and blocked the KB-x update that added the upgrader. Microsoft then added another, differently named KB-x update which preloaded Windows 10 -- even if you'd blocked the other one (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/09/microsoft-is-downloading-windows-10-to-pcs-even-if-you-dont-reserve-a-copy/ http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/09/micros...). Which, for me, was all a bit too much. Originally I figured I'd come back after some time, but the massively expanded Steam catalogue on Linux is making me question that too.
