I upgraded both my desktop and laptop to windows 10 and I'll write the pros and cons I have seen with the operating system. (Similar to how @AnarchyBlues summarized his experience)
Experience on my desktop (Transitioning from windows 8)
Pros
Overall, I recommend upgrading once as long as you remove all the bs tracking stuff.
Experience on my desktop (Transitioning from windows 8)
Pros
- After removing all the live tiles I know have a minimalistic start menu
- nicer GUI
- Snapping windows
- No stupid charm bar
- Knowing I can take advantage of directX12 in the future is nice
- Everything has been generally much more "smoother"
- Live tiles...why Microsoft...
- Third monitor stopped working, driver update fixed that
- Cortana
- Two control panels, "Settings" (Similar to how windows 8 settings were) and your traditional control panel, the latter being far more useful.
- Express settings... Always use customized settings when installing software.
