When I couldn't convert my aging mother to xubuntu, i ordered her a windows 10 system to replace a 15 year old PC. Networked it to a ubuntu system (there's a story there) with a shared printer in minutes. If you're worried about data mining you might as well unplug your internet or run everything through tor. Everyone knows where you go and what you do there. Apple data mines too, they just aren't as up front about it as google or microsoft.
Anyway, windows 10 is stable, the interface is decent and I base this on the fact I haven't been called to fix anyones win10 system yet. Windows 7 has a place of hatred in my heart.

With the few hundred Win7 systems here at work the only BSOD issue we had was a buggy ATI driver. They run 24/7 without too much issues. Same at home. We have 7 units on Win7 and I couldn't tell you the last BSOD we had. Still like XP better, but Win7 works pretty well.
