I think it's the best OS I've used yet really. I remember getting BSOD many times on Windows XP and several times on Win 7 (although they were so rare they were the exception). Almost always those previous iterations had some peripheral that needed help being configured but with Win 10 I haven't had to touch almost anything. My computer has changed to be not comparable to those previous though because I now have a nice GPU, a nice CPU, and a SSD. So any speed improvements, graphic improvements, etc are skewed by the hardware changes I've made since. I didn't turn off anything except the privacy that I could. It's just that I don't have a use case for most of the features (yet).

Am I the only one who never had issues with BSOD's, outside of hardware malfunctions?

  Driver malfunctions are common, too. Apart from that, I think my last Windows-induced BSOD was in Windows 2000, indeed. (And I don't think the blue screens in Win9x really count, as they are often a very different phenomenon than a kernel panic.)

IMHO, operating systems are a solved problem. I think that's why Microsoft is pushing the line between OS and applications so far into application space. I understand they may want to ship with solitaire and weather and all the other garbage apps, but why not let me uninstall them? I don't go to my computer and think "oh great, I get to use Windows" (or Linux or any other OS), I'm there to run some application. If Windows didn't arbitrarily send data to their servers, I might use the built in calendar or contacts. It feels like they want me to give up my privacy and they are offering nothing in return.
