What bothers me is the feeling that my computer doesn't belong to me anymore, but to Microsoft.
I felt the same way,which is why I moved to Linux 11 years ago. I just reached a breaking point over XP and decided i was not going to take it anymore.
I only use windows as a gigantic device driver to run a few games that don't yet run on linux.
I installed windows 10 on my notebook to test it out on real hardware, but since the new menu is still from from what I liie, classic shel is till a must. Since there's not much of a difference between win 10 and 8.1 in this case, I'll stick with 8.1 for as long as it takes.

Hell, I paid for this thing. It's mine, I decide how I use it.
If they're worried with security, educate the less savy users, but don't punish the advanced ones..
