Within the last week I retired my XP and launched a Win 10. It is surprisingly different, and yet much the same. Still, I yearn for MSDOS. That, I understood, and could make stand up and sing.
I kept my XP to run windoze unique programs and switched to Linux.
No more Bloatware loaded for applications I have never even heard of let alone ever would contemplate using, looks like windows but is faster because there is no unnecessary stuff loaded and its Free!!!
At work our retrograde step department aka the IT nerds just "upgraded" me from Win 7 to Win 10 and now my computer works so much slower that I can actually see what is going on with it, time delays about the same as my old commodore 64 when opening documents etc for someone my age it really is restful.

MS, Apple, Google and all the other software people really should look at asking their users what they want out of the software instead letting some software engineer nerd try to second guess what they want i.e. make a basic OS with addons as required by the user (a custom fit) first one that does that will clean up but what do you expect from a bunch of Uni students who never really got out of the garage business model.
Stop trying to be all things to all people.
