Nonsense, there will pretty much always be alternate launchers whether Classic Shell for Windows or one of who knows how many for android. Not to mention Shutup10 is just a faster way of changing various privacy settings rather than having to go to a dozen different places.
Is Windows 10 more stable than Windows 8?

i honestly do not understand why people say Windows 10 is stable (or actually good...) 
Windows 8.1 (if you can get past the UI) is great and much more stable. Windows 10 is just trying way hard to be super useful and in the process it just keeps breaking itself and then eventually repairing itself

They will only be around for as long as Microsoft provides the low level access they need to function, and they are clearly moving away from that.
I see a future where we do not own PCs, and the only thing we have is a smartphone. That smartphone gets plugged into a dock to be used as a PC, and can be connected to an eGPU/eCPU module for playing the most demanding of games. Further on, we will not even have the smartphone. We would have something akin to a smartwatch, where whenever we want to do advanced tasks we can use a personal device like a wireless slate or publicly accessible modules like in an intern cafe. This is the future Continuum hints at, and this future by design will have finer control over our devices.
Not going to happen until they figure out subspace ansibles and miniaturize them to the point they can fit in a phone/watch since there are far too many places without a reliable internet connection and satellite internet just won't cut it since it has 600ms minimum ping times due to the pesky light speed limit. Though even when they do that you will still be able to use custom launchers, no different than Nova launcher on android.
If you really want stability, stick to your 3DS.

That sounds more like a personal problem more than vista's. Honestly most of the criticism that I can recall was that "it wasn't xp" and because xp had been around for 6 or 7 years, people couldn't handle something which was different.
There were some performance problems for gamers because of the higher requirements vista needed and slow driver updates to optimise vista. But if someone complained about that these days they'd be laughed at.

Windows Vista and ME (Mistake Edition) were garbage, 7's the best one I ever used. XP is just a laughingstock if you still use it.
What do you mean by program manager? CCleaner has one if you are talking about what I think you are talking about. What's wrong with the control panel though?
always tried every version of windows by insider and or when i was IT student of vista/7/8/8.1/10 (because i had acces to the beta program), and always updated when commercial release came, and i was even more exited for win10... such a wonferfull OS compared to XP/7 and 8/8.1, much more stable and fast, i have a old tablet that is stuck on 8.1 thanks to intel so i always have the contrast "in front of me" x), there so much differences between them 
.
And im a music producer so i need a very stable OS and support for my old VST and stuff, never had a single problem with 10, where i had a few with win8...

It does feel a bit faster than 7 to me but that could just be because my 7 install was a few years old. Had my motherboard go bad about a week after getting a new graphics card (rx 470, upgrading from a gt 430) so I figured why not upgrade to 10 (enterprise version, of course) since I would have to reinstall everything anyway. So far everything is working fine though as said above I do use Shutup10 to disable a bunch of annoying stuff and Classic Shell because the normal one is a pain (it would be better if MS made it so each letter was it's own menu item so you don't have to scroll so much).

I can understand the latter, but not the former. Did you not get on with XP or 7, and why did you miss Vista completely? Vista was pretty good if SP2 is installed tbh.
Windows 10 is alright I guess, I prefer over 8 and that's probably because of the start menu being added back. Other than that it feels very restrictive for some reason. I'd recommend you give Linux a try and find the right distro of you.
i have 7 but ive heard lots of good stuff about w10 and a lot of bad stuff about w8
its all up to you to decide tho :v
i mean,a lot of people are saying that w8 is better,so why not listen to them instead?

I always use the search engine by pressing start with my keyboard, and the start menu is only used to pick fast stuff i didn't pinned on the task bar, almost nothing x). I don't really feel the need of disabling stuff on my main PC because of the i7 3770k and SSD, works great and fast, my previous MB died, but with it it was booting in 3-4sec :/, now something like 6-12 because it's lowend and you can't find a mid range 1155LGA under 100€ now... but anyway i did disabled everything like search engine, index, update services on the multimedia PC in the living room because i use a Q6600 to run that and it's not really that efficient to multitask later OSes, but it work great
.SP2 came reaaaallllyyyy late, i was on the beta program for vista also, i did switched on it at the release date because who cares when you have 10 free pro licences every year for every OS version x), wasn't really impressed that much as far as i remember i liked the fast search index and DX10, but dear god it was ressources eating on vanilla...
So you can tell that in mid 2009 i was already on the beta program of windows 7 before/when SP2 came out. I remember using the beta of 7 as my main OS also, so stable !
To me Win10 feel like something complete, that have stuff you could like to have on your PC but need to download to have it if you where on 7, screen recording, the store, notification center, Cortana, the notes, "do not disturb", the reactivity of the OS when used in both tablet and desktop mode, the fact that it's the same OS for tablet and PCs, stuff like that, features thats shows that they listened to you and put features you could want and did wanted, win8 was a really big step forward to that direction for me,
it was a wonderfull OS with the most powerfull search engine ever made for a windows OS, was really disapointed when they changed it on win8.1...
Anyway, even just for the 6sec fastboot on my crappy low end MB, i would go for win10 x).
7 was the start of something nice -- very good OS.
8 was better 7, 8.1 was better 8, and 10 is better than that.
Anything pre-7, you should be saying no to.

Program Manager was the default shell for Win 3.x
It was still available with Win95 for those who couldn't let go. But it was dropped later down the line.
The point was that these Classic Shells that nl2555 said will 'always' be are in fact only around as long as there is enough interest to make them viable. Which is never that long because *most* people just adapt and move on.

Yeah well shutup10 mainly disables the annoying stuff (like constantly being nagged to switch to Edge if you use a non-Microsoft browser) as well as things that could be dangerous for anyone having anything to do with piracy (like downloading from "that iso site") since by default everything you do including every website you visit is sent to Microsoft for them to do whatever they want with, such as share with Markmonitor. Not even using a VPN will help you once the various trolling/settlement companies start getting access to that data.
I have 2 PC which middlest PC installing Windows 7 and oldies PC installing Windows XP forever.... Not time for buying newest PC for Windows 10.... I don't have money to buy it. Plus, Windows 10 have too many security just likes CCTV style!
