Been using win 10 since its release, there was a recent big update to version 1511 and the general consensus is it is now a mature OS its even been recommended for enterprise now so yeah its all good

Microsoft also says that the new version of Windows 10 is mature enough that the company can "confidently recommend" businesses start using it in volume. Some companies skipped Windows 8 for a variety of reasons, such as the more familiar interface of Windows 7 (which has mostly returned in Windows 10). Although you might expect Microsoft to make such a statement, there are concrete reasons to listen. The company has created business versions of Windows Update and the Windows Store, to streamline software deployment and allow finer control over system updates. There's also better integration of mobile device management and Azure Active Directory Join, which can put an employee's Windows 10 data and settings in the cloud, to be retrieved and synced later with another Windows 10 device.

Why not? It's really down to preference, some people like the UI some think too cartoony, just have a look at some screenshots.

Pro's:

Dx: 12

More Optimized

In built screen captures records something that happened a set amount of time ago (Love this feature as you never know when you're going to get your 360 noscope!)

Cons:

Activation Key Bugs

OK I'll tell them to fix a problem that is unique to you, while I'm at it do you want me to get them to fix any other of your problems that only exist on your PC?

No, but I want you to tell them to fix a problem that i've seen on 3 out of my 7 windows 10 machines, all with different hardware/software configs.

I must be very lucky then, I've got an office full of win 10 machines are none have ever had the problem you mention...

I also have an office with quite a few windows 10 installations, however not many office machines are running fullscreen DX11 games

First noticed it on an upgrade, did a fresh install on main rig and it was still present. That's when I checked all other rigs and found that some of them have the same issue.

Then I must be pretty lucky too, got two win10 machines here. No problems whatsoever (Aside from inadequate storage on my part)

Be prepared to do some troubleshooting. I had to when I upgraded both my laptop and desktop to Windows 10. Been running solid ever since however. So if you can get over that hurdle, I highly recommend it.
