actually the last major update - made it much much worse. It disabled the desktop, while still leaving any files on it.
Yes they are moving away from any legacy windows systems - but given that many programs still use them - this is just a bad idea.

Windows 10 was a bad idea that microsoft released early and are currently panic updating in the forlorn hope they can get people to buy windows phones and tablets. As far as I can see it's had the opposite effect and is driving people more towards android and apple phones and tablets.
Hence the panic updates from microsoft.
Also a lot of the windows 10 apps for tablets don't run on desktops and vice versa - which was the whole point of windows 10.

Microsoft have shot themselves in both feet and at least one buttock and just seem to be making things worse with each update.
