Sorry, that is not my profile and this product was not created for me.

Having used 10 for a few days now, I've pretty much come to the same conclusion. So far, I don't see enough to keep me interested and I do see a lot I'm not interested in.
One real irritant revolves around the game Mahjong, which I like to play once in a while. It was a nice little time waster in 7. But it doesn't come by default with 10. You have to go to the Windows store and get it for free. I understand they want people to get used to going to the store but please?
Another problem is that every time you want to play the game, the game tries to sign you into the XBox website (I don't have an XBox and aren't planning on getting one) and then opens a webpage asking more about the XBox (not really sure what its asking for as the page is blocked by my security software).
So yeah, I think you've hit the nail on the head. The OS might be good for teens and youngsters interested in the social media stuff, but if your not, there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest here.
Still no BSODs though. At least thats good. But there are a bunch of little problems. MS still has a way to go before this is ready for prime time.
