    Ok. Primary reason: the same family and friends that bitched incessantly about Windows 8 stopped bitching as soon as they upgraded to win 10. Win 8 was the touch interface/tablet beta release. Win 10 is the actual os that adds support for it without trying to force it down everyone's throat. There's a reason the uptake of Windows 8 was worse than Vista, notwithstanding how happy people were with win 7.

    Running 10 for about a week, only complaint so far is that the notifications sound volume isn't tied to the system sounds volume channel, it's tied to the global speaker volume channel. So everythings nice and quiet, and something throws a notification and it's holy shitballs loud.

    I definitely had that problem!

    I like Windows 10 but it did take a bit of getting used to. The privacy issue may put people off. Here's a random article. I personally took measures to reduce this as much as I could.
