I like Windows 10 too, but there are some drawbacks that is making me hesitating to upgrade from Windows 8.1.
The first disadvantage is you have no rights to manually update your Windows unless you are using Windows 10 Pro ( Which you have to own a copy of either Windows 8/8.1 Pro or Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise. Windows have disabled the function in Windows 10 Home version to manually choose which update you want to install unless you are using Windows 10 Pro. That is great as user's don't need to spend time fiddling with updates, but if there is an update which permanently disables Windows that surfaced and left unfixed for 3 days. your computer will be left disabled for three days. For some user's they want to install the updates they want only, and this is taking their rights away.
The second disadvantage is Windows Media Center will not be available for Windows 10, you need to find another software to replace it, but be noted that Windows Media Player will still be there. This may be annoying for some user's because the removal of this software forces fans of Windows Media Center to find something else.
The third disadvantage is, Microsoft may or may not, make Windows an advertising platform. For example, Candy Crush Saga is default installed with any fresh copy of Windows 10. This may be just Microsoft's first step. I'm afraid of their future steps in advertising.
Sorry if I infringed anyone and sorry for the long post.
