My experience with android was the "flagship" galaxy s, which had the worst gps ever, didn't get updated past i think 2 versions of android (the first of which was already old by the time the phone launched), and was then replaced by the next "flagship" in short time.
It also had samsung's utterly terrible "Robust File System" which slowed the entire phone to a halt if you installed something, or eventually after enough general use would just run like dogshit anyway


I'm hopeful things aren't so bad now, haven't seen any phone with a feature point of "HAS A BAROMETER" lately, but that phone made me run to the iphone and never look back. Is android not a shitshow any more?

Android is great. Don't let your experiences of Android version 2 on a Galaxy S that launched 7 years ago dissuade you from excluding it from the rest of your life.

What ads are you guys talking about?

That's what I'm wondering as well. I have two Win10 installs at home and haven't seen any of this nonsense. Couple clicks to get Cortana out of the taskbar and clear out all the goofy tiles in the start menu and it's pretty clean.

I'm not saying it's ideal, but I'm also not going to go in a fit of neckbeard rage like my fedora is cutting off circulation to my head, when we're talking about a stable and capable operating system given to me by means of a free upgrade.
