How is the falls creator in winter?

Windows 10 falls creator update has been out for a while now. And even though I had written a positive review raving about its new features, with time I started to notice it's quirks.
Hence I am here today talking to you about the long-term review of the falls creator update. As soon as the honeymoon period wore off, I just stopped using those new features. I cannot even remember when was the last time I had used the people hub. One could say that it lacks third-party app support that is not attracting users to this feature. But I will say that one truly does not need a people hub. Next in the feature which I have never used is the story remix feature. Now I would blame that on my usage. I am not a creative person who shoots plenty of photos and videos. So it is normal for me not to use it. And the continue on PC feature, to me is useless without a mobile platform which natively supports it.
Falls creator update also brought with it performance dips. This dips in performance is clearly visible on my laptop. It has only 4GB of ram and at boot, I only have around 30% of it to use. That was never the case before this update. Another massive drawback of the FCU is the dip in battery life. Battery life was better before. I am consistently getting 1-1.5hours of less screen on time now, which to me is shocking.
Edge also feels really choppy and seems to have become really sensitive to my trackpad gestures. Edge seems to zoom into any page if it detects my fingers on the trackpad.
Now I have friends who are suggesting me to do a fresh install of Windows. It will solve all my problems they say. But my reply to them and Microsoft would be reinstalling Windows twice a year is just not an option for users.
Microsoft should stop developing new features and should focus on improving the stability and performance of its operating system! Windows is like the Android of 2010, it lags as time goes by.

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...
