I also turned off about a dozen options relating to data collection to 'improve my experience', though it probably still does that, and there are various other fundamentally stupid features infesting it (Wi-Fi Sense is the infamous one).

That's not to say it's unusable. I haven't had any problems with program compatibility so far. Pretty much everything I tried worked (once I got things like UAC, which can no longer reliably be turned off, to stop breaking them), including a couple of semi-esoteric drivers which still haven't been properly updated. I'd be very surprised if any games which worked on Windows 7/8 would have trouble with this one. But if you don't have any interest in the new interface or any of Windows 10's new features (like DirectX 12, which still isn't being used by anything), I don't think there are any reasons to upgrade for now. Unless you're running Windows 8, that is...
This does not make me feel should I upgrade from my Win8.1 and that is why I holding off until next year. So far for me I'm 65% not bothering, where I stand on this next year will decide it for me.
