What's sad is that it really wouldn't take much to fix things.
Allow the updates to be individually managed, instead of all or nothing.
Make the interface have a single theme, instead of half the stuff in one format and half in another.
Allow disabling/uninstalling of crap like Cuntana.
Allow telemetry to be disabled.
Leave settings and programs intact when updates are run.
Allow ads to be turned off in the start menu.
Ok, it /is/ a bit of a list. Fixing it wouldn't be hard, and would let them not only gain massive market share quickly, but sell the OS for a profit instead of bludgeoning the recalcitrant world over the head with it.
And yet, they still aren't going to do this. Because MS has decided that they want to be a Google or Facebook, so they're cheerfully throwing their core business out the window and chasing after income models that they know absolutely nothing about. Stupid bastards.
