Had to revert back to 8.1 for reliability at work. Amazes me how fast reverting is, like 5 minutes max. It really does expose how far Windows 10 has to go. The entire 8.1 experience is so much smoother. The fan never runs. The computer never gets hot. No lag, no stutter. The upgrades on W10 usually lure me back but honestly, it's not even close at this point.
I hear you, lots left to fix. At the same time, the more I use Windows 10, the more I'm simultaneously amazed at how much they've accomplished so far. They're moving at a remarkably fast clip, and so while I'm frustrated with how things are, I'm very confident that they'll fix things up by the time it ships toward the end of the year. I'm not expecting it before October, however...
The real proof in the pudding, for me, is just what Windows 10 on phones looks like. I can't imagine that it's not going to be a hot mess, and I'm really, really reluctant to load it on my Lumia 830. But I will, I suppose, because right now Windows Phone is kind of a lame duck... I know, this is mostly off-topic, but to keep it relevant I do believe that if Windows 10 on phones is looking even remotely decent then the guts of Windows 10 are in decent shape as well.
