From Microsoft, by now for too long I've seen
too much poor quality work, apparently
bottom to top in the stack and left
to right for the applications. I hate to
say this and am betting my startup
on Windows as the platform, but
for too long there
have been too many security problems,
poor documentation, bugs, "buffer overflows"
still, even design issues (Vista), etc.
Windows 10? That's a lot, from Windows
3.1, NT, ..., 8.1, and now 10, along with
Windows Server, etc. -- that's a lot of
software that is supposed to be really
serious. So, we have to expect that by
now Microsoft could get the routine things
right for Windows 10 and not ship
something that will need 10 service
packs, with lots of user struggles with
lots of problems along the way,
to get to a solid chunk of code.
E.g., the OP looked like just a fast
review of 10 but still found some serious
problems. So, it looks like Microsoft
never did a serious critical review
and fixed the obvious issues.
I've seen some good work from Microsoft,
but there's also been too much poor
work, and some of that seems to be in 10.
Not good.
Microsoft shipping bad code for their
main product is an old story that
needed to end a long time ago.
I just want Microsoft to put their
game face on, come ready to play,
take bugs, errors, etc. seriously,
and design and write good code.
E.g., I'm concerned: Clearly Microsoft
wants to push their users into
Windows 10. Well, if 10 has problems
it shouldn't have, then I will have problems
I shouldn't have.
At this point, I'm very concerned about
the basic quality of Microsoft's work.

Yup.
