Could you guys give me your opinion of the Windows 10 upgrade?

Windows 7 is no longer supported and I believe I’m beginning to reap the deleterious effects of that decision—just as I did when they stopped supporting Windows XP. I’m resistant to go to Windows 10 because I’m feeling caged into accepting it against my will, but maybe I’m making a big deal out of nothing.

How much like Windows 8 is it? I took one tour of 8 and hated it. It was like a big I-phone operation. And I couldn’t find a way to get into the Control Panel, Computer, or to do a file search or even run a DOS command. It seemed geared toward media rather than writing. Computing for idiots.

I also took a tour of one of the OS’s that Ubuntu offers online for free. I liked all the free software and the system seems a lot like 7. It appeared easy to customize the programs as well. To those of you who are familiar with Ubuntu, what is your opinion of Ubuntu vs Windows 10?

How about sharing your opinions and links so I don’t have to approach this thing in the dark.
