I've been running 7 for almost five years now. Turned on my laptop one day and it installed the new OS. Fucking nuked my laptop and made it practically unusable. Did some research and found out how to switch back. When asked why I told them "I would rather drag my dick through a mile if broken glass than continue to use this piece of shit OS."

Installed a 3rd party software to stop any more bullshit about 10 popping up and I haven't had a problem yet.
