Win 7 vs Win 10 – Upgrade vs Spying.
My computer works well with Win 7; however, I keep getting popups telling me to upgrade to Win 10 for free. Each time I ask myself “Self, why is MS giving away Win 10 when they could charge $$$ for it...

That is good to know about the user satisfaction node. I can probably write up a GPO that can just be doubleclicked and pushed out which would kill that stuff dead.
The ironic thing is that W10 Enterprise has some very nice security features. It stores credentials (passwords and such) not just in a secure part of the OS... but actually in a different virtual machine... well out of the reach of malware. This is called Credential Guard. Since every Windows 10 certified machine has a TPM chip, the credentials are protected by hardware, which is decently secure for the next few months or so.
MS gives, MS takes away, I guess. In general, I've had great luck with MS's server operating systems as desktops. However, they are not cheap, and Windows Server 2016 (the server OS corresponding to Windows 10) will have a different "pack" licensing model than before.
