This sounds terrifying. Windows keeps getting worse with every version so I fully expect this to be repulsive. I liked W7 and it's been downhill since then.

It's been downhill since Windows XP pretty much. But at least Windows 7 is mostly Windows XP with Wi-Fi and other modern networking needs.

Their descriptions make it sound like stupid new icons and animations with new touch features or weird desktops imposed on us--plus making it a more locked system.

I just want them to improve stability so it quits crashing or having other problems like broken sleep mode.

+1.

M$ seems to be spending more and more time on the looks and less and less on underlying performance and stability. They seem to think everyone judges a book by it's cover, and if it looks nice it doesn't matter how bad it performs. Are people really that vain?

I've kept my systems on LTSC mainly because (1). There is nothing compelling to make any later upgrade worthwhile (2). Each new version becomes more of a locked ecosystem that becomes more bloated and worse performing (3). Bugs, bugs and more bugs and (4). It feels and runs less like "my computer" with each new release.

I haven’t had any problem with windows 10 since it’s been released you guys just like to btch and moan

Advice to you if you don’t like it go run Linux or some other operating system

My first pc was on xp in 2002.
Next was vista , that was a nightmare , its origonal name was longhorn whilst it was under development and it took so long to release that they changed its name to vista in the hope that users would forget the word longhorn. It was an awful operating system and had so many performance logs that if you were paranoid you could actually convince yourself your pc was faulty.
At the same time i was using vista i got a spare pc with windows 7 on it , the pc shop described 7 as vista with all the rubbish taken out , after booting it up vista became my spare pc.
Before buying a pc with windows 10 on it i put the free version on a spare pc so i could get a feel of how it worked.
I eventually got a custom built games rig with windows 10 on it , it only came with the operating system installed so i was free of bloatware and trial software.

I currently have 2 desktops and a laptop all running windows 10 and can say in all honesty that i have never had a problem with any of them , unlike some people i think 10 is the best.

FOOTNOTE even when xp was outdated i kept it as a spare because it came with a free copying program called dx now , it could handle anything , that is until you had to register games id codes online .

The sleep mode infuriates me but the updater really sets me off. Some genius in Redmond thinks it's a good idea to start up a gaming laptop while it is sleeping with its lid closed and perform an update. Then they leave it running. They don't even have the decency to shut it down. This is so utterly stupid because the machine has a 2070 in it and after running with the lid closed for several hours the keys were too hot to touch.

Then there is the matter of the stupid-looking UI but I'll stop there.
