I have no major issues with iPhoto or iTunes, but I've been using those apps for a long time and don't do too much with either. iTunes tries to cram so many different functions into one app - iPhone sync, music, movies, podcasts, streaming music, etc. A single purpose app is often simpler, e.g. Spotify. iPhoto is being phased out in favor of Photos, which puzzles me. Why not simply improve iPhoto?

On Windows 10, all I ever use it for is productivity stuff. Excel, Word, Outlook. I really haven't noticed the groovy multimedia social stuff getting in my way, although I do see that it is there. I guess that, compared to previous Windows, I'm most impressed by 10's stability. In about a year of using 10, I've experienced two or three freezes (like, have to hard shut down) and one corruption that required reinstallation. For Windows, that seems pretty good. It is a slick, speedy OS most of the time.

We're deeply into the Apple ecosystem of iPhones, iCloud, Mac, Apple Music, so I'm not inclined to move to Windows as my main OS. But I'm perfectly happy working in 10 half the time, via Parallels.

If my company would ever move our corporate machines to 10, I'd be delighted.

I did read that IBM is moving to Macs and has found much lower administration costs that way.
