This is why I'm saying I'm close to just switching to Linux, which would be my next move. Not going to reward Microsoft with a new version purchase for making their OS a pain in the ass. Nowhere in the purchase documentation/advertising does it mention this differentiation unless its buried somewhere so I was unaware and I already made my purchase.
Everyone has their priorities. In Linux you will have updates breaking dependencies, endless hours in configuration, lackluster hardware support and broken display scaling. I love Linux for a server box that I rarely touch but I would never use it for my day to day needs.
