The underlying OS is actually decent, the dev tools they provide are good and the dedication to backwards compatibility is better than anyone else.
Unfortunately, the OS is then loaded with so much extra crud, like all the privacy snooping problems, the crapware (even an ISO downloaded from MS contains junk adware-loaded 3rd party games and software), and so on.
From a technology standpoint, the base OS is far more than lipstick-on-a-pig. Windows XP -> 7 -> 10 has been a decent progression.
I'd still never recommend Windows 10 to anyone though. The evil outweighs the good.
