I'm surprised that it was Windows 10 that made you switch. Windows 8 was my biggest disappointment.
Here's what I feel about each Windows release I've used much (1=low, 10=high):
+-----------------+-------------+----------------+-----------+
| Windows Version | Expectation | Disappointment | Usability |
+-----------------+-------------+----------------+-----------+
| 3.1 | 5 | 2 | 8 |
| 3.11 | 7 | 3 | 6 |
| NT 3.51 | 7 | 5 | 7 |
| 95 | 6 | 3 | 7 |
| NT 4.0 | 7 | 3 | 9 |
| 98 | 7 | 2 | 8 |
| ME | 7 | 7 | 6 |
| XP | 8 | 3 | 8 |
| Vista | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| 7 | 4 | 3 | 6 |
| 8 | 6 | 8 | 2*|
| 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 |
+-----------------+-------------+----------------+-----------+
* - marred by experience w/Surface RT
- Esau 10y agoFrom what I've observed, the biggest issues with Windows 10 are policy issues. Forced upgrades, forced telemetry, and deceptive/annoying attempts to get people to upgrade to it from Win7 and Win8.

- bluejekyll 10y agoWhat is interesting about your numbering system is that your expectation continue to go up (in general) yet your disappointment also kept going up. I would have expected that expectation would have started going down after each disappointment.
- microcolonel 10y agoNT 4.0 was gold, I wish they would release a version of W10 (Windows NT 9.0?) which has all the goodies and none of the dreck. That way I could test websites in their two entire web browsers without being marketed Office 365.
- digi_owl 10y agoYou missed out on the joy that was Win2k. pretty much XP without the candy gloss. 9x interface, NT stability, and quite solid game support.
- jasonkostempski 10y agoMost people skipped Windows 8 or tried it and quickly switched back to 7. And, because Windows 8 wasn't a hostile creature trying to take over your PC, it was pretty easy to choose not to use it. Windows 10 is pretty much just Window 8 excepted it's being forced on users.
