What about Win7, with which I am very happy?
Thanks!
I am running DOS 4.01 and I am perfectly fine.
Win-7 is sliding toward obsolescence ...
On identical hardware, I find that Win-10TP boots faster than Win-7. I find some aspects of the layout and organization of the interface to be improved over Win-7.
I'm in your situation. I have quite a few Win7 machines (one laptop, one desktop, three VMs), and they all perform pretty much flawlessly.
I played with a Win8.1 desktop for about 10 minutes and nearly puked. It's fine for mobiles, I suppose, but it sucks swamp water on a regular computer.
I have been playing with the Win10 "Technical Preview" for a couple weeks, and I will say it's a damn sight better than Win8.1. But it's no great improvement overall, and it's still harder to work with than it has to be.
And IMO it can't hold a candle to Win7. As of now, I'm sticking with Win7 until 2020 when they stop the security updates.
I’m using notches carved on a stick and it’s perfectly fine, except that the wood shavings keep jamming up my keyboard.
