Stable
Goodlooking and free for most users.

Cortana shows a shocking lack of functionality in places
Ongoing polish and improvements mean little is ever truly done
Some elements are less touch-friendly than in Windows 8.1. Browser lacks extensions. Skype and OneDrive integration could be improved. Less integration with mobile OS than Mac OS X. Some interface duplications remain
Confused settings menus
Upgrade download issues
Advertising and inapp purchases in previously free Windows games
App store has fewer and less feature-full apps than competing phone OSes
Not all older phone models are upgradeable
Tablet Mode changes aren't great
Cortana loses features
Not every bug is dead yet. Switching modes gets really confusing. Cortana's voice recognition is a mess. Windows really needs more apps
Weird software bugs
Microsoft Edge needs more work
Missing features in built-in apps
Bugs
Inconsistent
Cortana can't control 3rd party apps like in Windows Phone (yet)
Tablet mode may have a learning curve (but you don't have to use it)
Some older programs designed for desktop Windows don't work quite as well in Tablet mode
Many Universal apps are not
The Windows Store and Universal Apps still have to prove themselves. Windows 10 will only achieve greatness if Microsoft keeps updating it as promised. UI inconsistency is still something to consider.
No major changes beyond the traditional Windows desktop
We extensively tested the Windows 10 Anniversary Update on our Surface Pro 2, and found it to be so stable we never experienced a crash of any kind. We also judge that the wide array of improvements make this a “must have” new version for anyone running W...

Windows 10 Mobile is a fine operating system and most certainly the best yet from Microsoft. On a feature-for-feature basis, it is nearly equal to what's available from Apple and Google. The biggest issue facing Windows 10 will continue to be apps...
Abstract: Three months into Microsoft's “Windows as a Service” strategy, many of us expected to see significant progress in plugging the many holes in the “RTM” July 29 build 10240 release of Windows 10. Unfortunately, Windows 10 version 1511 -- aka Threshold 2, Fa...

Here's the thing Windows 10 is indeed better than Windows 8/8.1 but the thing is, it isn't done yet. The operating system is still unfinished and it's pretty rough currently. Microsoft is expected to release a new update this Fall, which will reportedly c...
But is this going to be the upgrade to move people off of Windows 7? In my opinion, yes it is. Windows 10 should bring enough of the familiarity with Windows 7 to 2015 that the majority of users should have a great upgrade experience. The Start Menu is ba...
Abstract: Many people are scrambling to download and install Windows 10. Microsoft seems to have taken a page from the playbook of others and offered a free upgrade to eligible PCs. Anyone who has attempted to upgrade a PC in the past has undoubtedly had a bad expe...
