Last graph of the article:
It is exciting, confusing, wilfully disruptive and potentially alienating. Im intrigued...
I'm not. This is one more step towards MSFT's goal of having, "Windows as a service."
And yes, the article misspelled willfully.

As someone else posted on this site, I will keep using my Windows 7 until they pry it from my cold, dead, fingers ....
To: CJ Wolf
Exactly.
VT100 redux.
With less security.
To: upchuck
Yeah, I’ll get right on that. After I tire of Win7 and install Win8, then 8.1, then 10. Nope, guess not.

Dropped Windows over a decade ago.
Too glitchy, too prone to viruses and malware,spent too much time repairing mine and then all my friends` machines.
Apple, for now. Apple`s big suck is they make it so you cannot install any new OS into an old Apple product unless you do a semi-complicated hack to force it to accept.

Speaking as someone who has supported everything from 3.1 to present 10 build 16xx - no. XP wasn’t.

its meant to take on Chrome OS on the low end cheapo laptops. I doubt we will see it as a main stream OS, unless it sales like hot cakes then all bets are off. Their latest strategy has turned the company around financially so I wouldnt write them off.
To: CJ Wolf
So they are gonna sell a vt100 terminal with better graphics. As a person who used a VT100/102/102 terminal for many years, that's interesting. It's like we're going full circle.
Memories...

You're wrong. So why the huge pushback on Vista then?
XP hauled ass, admit it!
Buckle up for the ride down folks...

Depends on what you define as old - 8 year old machines (and in some cases older) can still run the latest version of OS X. Try installing Windows 10 on a mainstream PC that old and watch the “fun” you get.
Usually - not always, but usually - Apple has a good reason for their model breaks for new OSes, often, “The older hardware could run it, but the user experience is really going to suck.”

Vista was far worse. 7 was better than XP. 8 was a return to the garbage bin, 8.1 was an attempt to get out of the bin that didn’t work and 10 was so ‘good’ they had to force it on users.
