Gonna update to Windows 10 as soon as I get home from work
For Macs, it seems like there's always hoops to jump through for simple tasks. Don't think I could ever make the switch even though it's so pretty to look at and it generally runs buttery smooth. That, and I'm gonna build a desktop once Intel's Skylake and Nvidia's Pascal is out. Future-proof machine

I heard about hassles with rooting phones on macs

Nothing having to deal with drivers

itll be a bit before i can get my hands on w10, but from what i read its what microsoft should've put out with windows 8...which is classic microsoft.
as with all operating systems, i expect bugs and user experience to improve over time with continued feedback, patches, service packs, etc. i def look forward to getting back into the windows game.
as for phones..
that moto x is flames. def want to cop. its the back that gets me personally, i honestly dislike the 2014 moto x style..which is on nexus 6 as well.
im not a huge make or break guy when it comes to phone cameras. they may not be DSLR quality or w.e, but they are good enough for me (if i want serious photos, id grab a canon or something).
love the styling all around, minimal bezels...only issue would be deciding on a design. but then again, it remains to be seen what google puts out this year...

Nawwww.
People complain a lot about Windows 8, but really it's only ever about the UI. That's easily fixed with Classic Shell. Need that UEFI fast boot. Power button to log-in screen in like 6 seconds

Was hesitant about game compatibility on W10 but looks like almost everything works.

Had mine about a week, it is great but sometimes I do get app crashes. Like it better than my Note 4 though for the size so going to roll with it for the time being.

First impressions with Windows 10: meh.
Feels like a themed W8 with annoying live tiles in the Start menu. Performance feels the same.

Got tired of waiting. Went and download the media creation tool which allows you to upgrade without actually having to make a DVD/USB
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
You'll have to download all 6GB or whatever it is, so it'll take a while.

I upgraded to Windows 10 a few hours ago, took about an hour. At least the Start Menu is back.

I got my G4 about 2 weeks ago. Loving it thus far. Earlier on I had an issue with only having about 2hrs screen on time, but disabling some bloatware, revoking some app permissions and messing with location services has me with a 3:40 SoT according to GSAM. I've seen other users elsewhere reporting 5+ hours of SoT. I'm not too sure how they got there, but I suppose it's very possible. I typically use my phone for web browsing and other social media during my 3 hour lecture so I'm not sure if that drains battery faster than sporadic use throughout the day.
My extra battery/charging cradle came in over the weekend so I'm not even worried about battery life anymore though. I also really like the feel of the free leather back. The colors are funky, but I like the feel. So far everything is running smooth as silk for me.
