So much for “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it”.

Thank you sir!!!

There are an awful lot of people who are perfectly satisfied with Windows 7 (I'm one of them), and it's hard to make an argument for Windows 10 to such folks.

I suspect most of the uptake so far has been comprised of:

• Curious freebies -- the first year it was free for Win7 and Win8.1 users
• New computers pre-loaded with Win10
• Fanbois who are passionate about the latest and greatest
• IT personnel who need to stay ahead of the curve

The vast majority of Win7 users do not fall into the above categories.

Windows 7 has been, still is, a good, steady workhorse, and especially so compared to that horror that was Windows 8.0 and 8.1, now allowed to sink into oblivion. Windows 10 was created to kind of putty over the deficiencies of Windows 8.0 and 8.1, and maybe, someday, when enough fixes are done, might actually be an improvement in relation to Windows 7. But today, if you get a new computer, that is what you get.

Shortly, Windows 7 will be forced into obsolescence, because Microsoft will cease to support it, and it joins the dustbin of history.

I really wish I didn’t have to move to Windows 10. I’m perfectly happy with most of my work on Windows 7.

Unfortunately, many of the system and network administration tools, and powershell modules I need to use MUST be run on Windows 8.1 or later, i.e. Windows 10.

I suppose I could continue to logon to different servers in order to administer Exchange 2016, Office 365, and AAD Connect, but it’s so inconvenient to have to have all these RDP sessions going.

But I really don’t care for Windows 10, though I haven’t had the time to try to learn the interface. My biggest problem is trying to make the time to learn to use Windows 10!
