What do you mean by "screwed-up interface"? After using 10 (upgraded from 7) for the last few months, I can only say that the interface is better. Any changes that I've noticed have been improvements, so I'm genuinely curious as to what you're referring to.

Agreed. The only complaints I have are about the start menu tiles, and those are easily removed.

In my experience, Windows 10 is a poor upgrade from Windows 7 on laptops and desktops. The interface is a buggy, half-hearted attempt to roll back the trainwreck that is Windows 8 to something resembling 7, except 7 still works better since it doesn't have to deal with all the Metro (tablet/touch interface) bits. For now I'm keeping Windows 7 with manual updates - while loathing the fact that I have to use Windows at all - and I suspect there are a lot of people like me.

  Coming from Windows 7, and being completely baffled by 8.x, I feel 10 is an upgrade in most ways. A bit inconsistent in how apps draw/behave, but still an upgrade.

    If I punched you in the face (Windows 8) the slapped you after (Windows 10), you'd find the slap quite an upgrade as well. It still doesn't mean it's pleasant (halfassed Settings).

If been using Windows 10 on my desktop since release and there are no metro bits that show up in my day to day use my computer. The only bits that where there in Windows 10 where the tiles in start menu, but they where easy to remove. Personally I consider Windows 10 a clear improvement over Windows 7 in just about every aspect.

    The new shiny, touchy, metro-y Settings app, for one. Half the settings have moved there, while the rest of the stuff (generally the more advanced, non mobile-related kind) still lies in the "legacy" Control Panel. One of the most embarrassing aberrations of trying to convert a powerful, productivity-oriented PC operating system into a mobile devices firmware.

I feel Windows 10 still has an inferior interface when compared to Ubuntu, when it comes to Virtual Desktops support and the CLI. Also, some minor details like volume control, Wi-Fi network selection and USB devices are noticeable superior in Ubuntu. However, I like the tablet oriented interface, as I have a convertible laptop, and it makes for a truly fantastic comic reader.
