At the risk of going off topic, IMHO, the improvements in 10 over 7 vastly outweigh the drawbacks, of which the involuntary updates (unless you have an enterprise license as distinct from a consumer version, which gives you a lot more flexibility as to when and how to update) is the biggest.
The idea is basically that consumers act as the guinea pigs for new bug fixes, and then when Microsoft is convinced that they work reliably on a critical mass of PCs in the field, then they release them to the (supposedly) more mission critical machines running enterprise versions. They did give us the update from 7 for free, and so I suppose they needed to fund that somehow. However, I do believe that they should have been a little more honest about their business model. Same goes for the targeted ads, etc. - though you can turn all of that stuff off, if you're prepared to educate yourself as to how to do so. With most Android and Apple equivalents, you can't.
Very good news that the Dolby apps for their older hardware (much of which is still in revenue earning service, because it was so well designed and made to start with) are now available for W10 without hacks or workarounds being needed.
