Re: am i the only one resisting this
"After having Microsoft trying to force Win10 onto me with all of its considerable might, am I the only one that has developed an aversion for it?"
No, you are not.
Interestingly, the majority of the pluses in the article for upgrading to W10 are features I've had for years on my FreeBSD desktop. I'm no specifically knocking Windows since I use that as well, but it's taken quite some time for MS to realise that things like multiple virtual desktops are much more useful features than smartphone/tablet like tiled desktop menus.
