I&#x27;m running 10 on a 3.5 year old i7 at home, and a brand new i7 at work.<p>I haven&#x27;t had any significant problems with freezing and boot times.<p>I am a little biased as I&#x27;m doing C# MVC so I&#x27;m using Visual Studio, I think it&#x27;s all pretty great.<p>You do have to get used to the new control panel, but all of the old panels are still there for you to use (I am nearly 100% sure), but it&#x27;s not really _that_ bad. You get used to it.<p>I run Android on my phone so I&#x27;m pretty sure that overall I have no real privacy from any agency that really want to get in to my business... oh well.
