Win10 with Classic Shell is good enough for me..... Until I have to dig into the control panel and dick around with any network settings harder than "hurrr durrr SSID and password goes here". Luckily Simple IP Config does all the heavy lifting for me on that front.

But hey, having to use third party utilities to make my OS usable is just The Microsoft Way at this point.

I have way less patience for it than you do; I bailed out a few weeks into owning a Windows 8.1 laptop. I've been a full time Linux user for 10 years now.
