I have Windows 10 on one of my computers, a recently purchased laptop. I hate it, finding it befuddling, and when it surprises me by updating without my permission or even knowledge, I have to go to great lengths to back out the update, and then research it, to see if it screws things up or not, and then carefully install it. Everything else I own is Windows 7, and will stay on it until the hardware becomes obsolete. By then I am hoping Microsoft will have come to its senses, seeing the huge refusal rate of Windows 10 and its declining revenue from it, and come out with a better Windows 11. I view the fact that Microsoft has had to release new patches to XP with gleeful schadenfreude. Windows 7 (and XP!) may be supported much longer than they say now; they can't cut off 62% of their installed customer base. Or they could, and become only a cloud service company, not a software company anymore. We may be watching the end of Microsoft software.
First 4 articles, from googling "windows 10 adoption".

My questions are, how many here themselves, or know others who have deliberately avoided upgrading to windows 10, or worse for Microsoft, have rolled back from it's install, abandoning the latest windows upgrade?
Also, how many who have installed windows 10 have already had to reinstall it at least once?
I visit Linux forums and just this past month I've seen more complaints and deserters from windows to Linux than since XP support expired. Some comments were like "Fed up with it. Can't take it anymore. Had enough!," and so on.
Is there one particular situation in windows 10 that has created greater angst among it's current and former users?
It's adoption is still growing, but that rate of growth has slowed down in a huge way.
The articles above describe the growing desperation of Microsoft to get windows 10 onto more computers, but suggest mainly it's newer equipment needing newer driver files that will accomplish that, in the end, even for those who don't wish to run windows 10. More like obsolescence provides victory, if we wait long enough.
Last, who feels windows 10 is a mistake? I personally did the beta during development and had hopes for it, but when they made it RTM too soon, and problems increased as they stripped out privacy, and increased activation triggers, I decided not to upgrade my wife and daughter computers to it. My daughter now uses it on a new laptop though she got for graduation.
