Well, I'm happy for you that Windows 10 seems to meet your needs and apparently doesn't cause you any problems. But I stand by my original position that Microsoft may have misjudged the business market if their strategy is to go consumer first and aim to fix any business concerns later. (Please also remember that I'm not saying they necessarily have misjudged, I'm just saying it's a risk if that's their strategy.)
Regardless of your opinion or mine, the corporate sysadmins and decision-makers evaluating a possible move to Windows 10 aren't going to be forming their opinions based on the kinds of reviews you linked to before, and they're going to be well aware of the kinds of issues raised by the less favourable coverage. What really matters isn't whether you can convince me that, say, changing a corporate WiFi SSID used by hundreds or thousands of people is no big deal, it is whether Microsoft can convince the sysadmins and the team running the help desk. And based on the reactions I've seen so far from people who are in those kinds of positions, Windows 10 certainly isn't making a great first impression, so I do think Microsoft has left themselves a bit of a mountain to climb.
Not quite. It doesn't cause me any problems that I regard as unsolvable for what I get in return. Android, for example, is a much tougher proposition. That's a bigger privacy leak and the only real alternative is to go to an AOSP-based ROM.
Just using the web requires some effort (Ghostery, uBlock Origin, Google Search link fix etc).

We shall see. I expect Microsoft has actually talked to its business users, and it doesn't expect them all to defect (though, as I said, it's got until 2020 before it becomes critical).
Reilly promised a Windows 10 upgrade is on the horizon for Bank of America. "We're looking to adopt as early as we can," he said. Such a project will be a massive undertaking given the sheer multitude of Windows devices within the organization, but he appears optimistic about the process.
