I agree with all of this. Windows 10 has been a lot of fun when I've played around with it on other peoples machines. However, what really bugs me about this is how difficult it is to remove. I don't particularly mind having to pick and choose updates but if I do miss one and end up downloading it, let me remove it! I've done just about everything I can locally to remove the download folder and have gotten the download down from ~6.5Gb to just under a gig now. Next step which I haven't done yet is to boot into Hiren's or Linux and try to remove it that way. This is just an absurd amount of work for something I should be able to opt out of. End rant.
