Microsoft is losing thousands of customers for every change.

How many million Boomers are there? Gen-x is getting up there. My daughter is 23 and she’s frustrated with Windows 8.

The nerds forget who they’re selling to. PEOPLE. Not just nerds. That’s where the bulk of their money is coming from.

Now, if *everyone* (but a few troglodytes) loves progress so much, why is Windows 7 still the best selling OS on the planet again? Why is our own government paying Microsoft to support Windows XP on their systems?

Perhaps the extra training actually costs time, money, and productivity? Maybe?

I think that, even you and your 23 year old daughter, will eventually migrate your devices to Windows 10. Nothing to fear,and it will actually be a great upgrade.

MS might lose thousands of users, but, they also have over 1.5 billion devices in the wild with Windows inside. So, get over it.

Here I have:

WinXP
Win7
Win8.1
OSX
Linux

Out of all, I like Linux best. It’s the fastest of all and has half the hardware than the other ones.
