For me its not a matter of hating the new OS, its a matter of not being forced into it and pestered. They have essentially made win 7/8/8.1 adware now where we constantly get annoyed to update. I DO plan on updating, its just gonna be whenever I get around to it, and more of the bugs and privacy issues have been sorted out.
There are still plenty of cases where you should not upgrade. One prime example is my grandmother. She is 81 now and any change, no matter how minor, is very upsetting and a difficult adjustment. She has been on 7 for years and I still have to remind her the button on the bottom left is still the "start" button she was so used to. The fact that she prompted to update and probably not know any better will be something i'll have to try and prevent.
I do understand the constant prompts are annoying. I get annoyed with them myself. The only reason we haven't changed at work is because it took until last year for everyone to get to windows 7, and microsoft office 2013 lol. Even though we have a subscription service, and it's free to upgrade to the latest office 365, they don't want anyone upgrading. They complain about updating about 6 computers, tops lol.
We are a very small company that has been around 60 years.
Edit: when I say everyone, I mean the president. She fights the upgrades for her computer and the system, then complains about how everyone else has all these capabilities and she doesn't.
