Spent a few hours disabling / uninstalling as much unwanted kiddie apps as I could find....

and obviously making it resemble stripped down utilitarian XP / win 7 as best I can.

My opinion is it is a lot better organized and less user irritating than 8.1....

but apart from that I don't fell any wow factor advantage over win 7 ????

I really dislike the lack of update options.
and am sensibly suspicious of the possible extent of the data harvesting.

One definite fault is the amount of times it's crashed during 'Restart'
- it'll switch off then hang on the opening reboot screen.

Which necessitates pressing the off switch, then pressing it to start back on again...

Most disconcerting during driver & software updates which require a restart !!!!

I am currently googling this unacceptable problem....
