Windows 8.1

what's the consensus on 8.1 compared to 10? I've never used it, does it have the same cancer as 10?
does it come with unnecessary microsoft apps?
does it have the cancerous "settings", separate from control panel?
does it have ads in the start menu?

Anyone willing to talk about it usually has a strong opinion, and those with strong opinions have the worst opinions. Those who go "meh, it is/isn't that great" far outnumber the strong opinionated which would make them the concensus. But they won't post because they don't really care.

Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell is pretty good. Not as good as 7 but at least better than 10.

It's Windows 7 with speed improvements but without the botnet
