But there is an increase nonetheless. That, coupled with the new UI and features... pretty good reason to upgrade.

I would not say that ~5 FPS increase is worth upgrading your OS. Let alone being an upgrade and not a reformat. His test results with all the extras pulled out:
| Code: | Batman: Arkham City : 4-5 FPS Increase
BioShock Infinite : 0 FPS Increase (~40 FPS decrease on low-end settings..)
Crysis 1 : 2 FPS Increase
Crysis 2 : 1 FPS Increase
DiRT 3 : 6-8 FPS Increase
DiRT Rally : 0 FPS Increase
FFXIV Heavensword : 0 FPS Increase
GRID 2 : 0 FPS Increase
HAWX 2 : 7-8 FPS Increase
Hitman: Absolution : 0 FPS Increase
Just Cause 2 : 1 FPS Increase
Metro 2033 : 1 FPS Increase
Sleeping Dogs: DE : 1 FPS Loss
STALKER: CoP : 1 FPS Increase/Loss (Depending on settings.)
Streetfighter IV : 0 FPS Increase
Tomb Raider : 0 FPS Increase
Warhammer 40k: DoW 2 : 5 FPS Increase
World in Conflict : 4 FPS Increase |
This is not amazing or a game-changer to upgrade for. Not to mention results will vary per-system. Different hardware has different drivers that support Windows 8.1/10 better then others. So you may see even worse gains/losses then this, or you may see better.
I personally see no reason to upgrade to 10, especially this early on. The OS is 'new' and is going to have issues. Be it drivers, update mistakes, etc., problems will happen. (And they have multiple times already.) Along with that, people are still discovering uneasy things in 10 that Microsoft forces opt-in rather then opt-out by default, and other little things that casuals will never know to look for that they take advantage of. (For example, the fact that Windows Updates now uses a torrent based system to utilize your internet to give others updates.)
All of this is fine and dandy for a more advanced user to face and adjust settings for (after digging to find them since Microsoft buried some of them away to try and hide it.) but for a casual person that goes and buys a system from Best Buy, they are going to be taken advantage of, spied on, and such without realizing it.
I'm not interested in Windows 10 personally because of the direction they have taken the OS since Windows 8. I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate for my main OS, and Windows 8.1 Pro on my work system. That said, I really don't care for Windows 8.1 at all, but it was free.
For me, I'm waiting a while before ever touching Windows 10 on my own systems. Not interested in the NSA edition of Windows currently.

I'm pretty sure that even if you're running TAILS with tor and pgp encryption and whatever the fuck else, they still have backdoors and can own you if they have a reason to

Pretty much this
Not like they own nodes, towers, providers. And the things they don't own have 100% access to whenever they feel like it
