Windows 10 is full of bloatware and new ways Microsoft can control the way you use your operating system.

It may be fast but imo I don't think any of the features are really worth upgrading from Windows 7 after I've used Windows 10 twice.

Only downside is the Microsoft store is releasing some Xbox exclusives on PC now like Halo Wars 2 and Gears of War ect.

I haven't come across any bloatware yet (except maybe the Microsoft Store). Not sure what you mean about being controlled, Windows 10 feels like an improved Windows 7 to me. Not noticed any restrictions.

DirectX 12 is probably really the only thing worth upgrading for (that and the improved speed/boot-up time). Not many games are taking advantage of DX12 yet, but we'll definitely see many games using it not too long from now.

Yeah I read about them releasing Xbox exclusives to PC. Actually quite surprised tbh, that's a massive marketing decision. Console exclusives were probably the only real reason for getting a console (if you already have a gaming PC), so it's an odd move. Bloody brilliant for PC gamers though. Never played Gears of War or Halo, but I might do once it's released on PC.

Anyone use Win + Tab? Started using it and it's actually quite useful. Allows you to quickly switch between different windows and different 'virtual desktops'. Virtual desktops basically let you add extra screens that you can switch between (similar to Mac OS).

Notice "Desktop 1" and "Desktop 2" at the bottom.
