I'm both amused and angry that Windows 10 adopted the same model as the big commercial Linux distributions: a fast-cycle OS that upgrades every 6 months (but might have bugs), and a slow-moving version that they support for a long time but won't suddenly change behavior or stop working with your hardware.
It is a proven model in the Linux world. The unpleasant thing is that Microsoft shunted millions of users on to the equivalent of Fedora or non-LTS Ubuntu without bothering to explain this.
