For everyday experience it's one of the better versions of Windows, definitely better than 8/8.1, though the Start menu is still less well designed than the one in Windows 7. But you have to accept some potentially very intrusive terms of service, you never really know what information it's disclosing about you, and it continues the trend of control over devices being taken away from users in favour of the hardware and software corporations and govermnents.

Linux is a preferable OS and if you don't need Windows-specific software (or if you can get away with VMs or Wine) you won't be missing anything significant without Windows these days. Like many people though I'm stuck on Windows a lot of the time because of the software I use.
