we skipped 8(thankfully sounded like a mess overall), went from 7 to 10 there was some pains at the start, most of the call home shit you can disable, except for Cortana(some odd reason they made the bitch a "required" service), but with WLS getting further support soon, we might not have too dual-boot for cloud stuff anymore(waiting for the Enterprise preview of the new WLS before decisions are made)
I honestly didn't find 8 that bad. I think it got a bad rap with the default settings they had. Definitely didn't feel single monitor friendly out of the box without a lot of changes to preferences/settings. Once I had the settings right and configured, it ran pretty smooth with minimal problems. 10 out of the gate looked better, but I've run into more annoyances/issues overall.
I've nailed most of them down but the main headache is it still refuses to cooperate properly with windowed fullscreen + gsync. Much less FPS performance than 8, plus it would randomly have issues where it would limit me to 30 fps until i alt tabbed out and back. Supposedly it was from their stupid xbox game service or whatever, but even disabling that, stopping it, etc wouldn't fix it.
But more and more that problem seems to be with older titles that aren't supported as much anymore. Newer titles with devs on the ball for patching seem to have resolved it.
