Win10 boots up faster, power management is better, but: it's positivel 
polluted with advertising and chockablock full of crapware, looks 
designed to encourage commercial clicks and use of paid M$oft services; 
whether you like tiling on a non-touch screen will have a lot to do with 
how well you like the overall interface and how well you like ribbon 
menus (they drive me bananas; updates are unconfigurably automatic 
(acknowledging that Windows remains insecure for the foreseeable 
future); the Start menu is hard to customise; and security is even more 
corporate-baroque.

Edge has many unpleasant issues ...

- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3083635
- many features that many users count on are missing, awkward or 
inadequate ... address bar, extensions (you like Lastpass and 
Flashcontrol? Too bad), interface customisation, PDFs not handled 
correctly, convenient search engine switch, does not display protocols, 
tab history, right-click search with your choice of engine instead of 
Bling, sorry Bing.
