Mr ChriZ:
I've got a laptop and a tablet running it. Generally quite happy with it.
Tablet definitely feels like it could do with more tweaking but generally quite happy with it. Even then I'm much happier with a Windows 10 tablet than I was with various Android tablets.

Yeah it looks good to me.... though I still do like "Classic Shell" for the start menu

With a local account, things are greatly simplified (from my perspective). It's easy enough to hide/disable most of the default apps and get a windows-7-like experience with a little customization.

hmmm ... reports like this are worth being aware of:
Windows 10 is spying on almost everything you do – here’s how to opt out
Looks like there are plenty of windows for M$ to look back into your system that are on by default.

I'll vote with you on that one. I'm a fan myself.

The majority of that stuff is irrelevant if you don't use a microsoft account and don't use the integrated apps (neither of which I will ever do). It is distressing just how invasive the defaults are.
There are a few other things that are worth turning off that are still an issue even with a local account and no "default" apps (the settings under feedback and diagnostics are particularly worrying if you read what they actually mean), but using a local account and removing most of the metro apps is the 75% solution.

This is another cheeky default feature:
Windows 10 Uses Your Bandwidth to Distribute Updates, Disable It Here
Too bad if you've got limited download. Naughty stuff in my book. Appeal to community spirit and request users to volunteer and M$ might actually generate goodwill. One of those weird, old school concepts that still works around where I live.
