> I really do love that graphic of the floppy. 'Disk 1 of 2079'. LOL.

Yeah, subtle but effective. :-) And that "2079" figure was true when Win10 first came out (about 3GB) but these days it would be more like 3500 floppies.

> I have a copy of Win7 that I run only as a VM. I haven't patched it in forever. Never use it for browsing. Is very occasionally used to do iTunes backup of my phone, but that's about it. Thankfully, disk space is cheap.

I have a Win7-64 Pro VM that I have kept patched (no more after tomorrow, of course), but I have copies of the VMDK in a couple different places for restoration in case of trouble.

Actually the same protocol for Win10. "Friends don't let friends install Windows on the metal."

I'm looking around and trying to find documentation on exactly how thick they are. I would be interested in how big a stack that would be. A better real-world measurement would be to stack up 100 of them, measure it, then divide by 100. :-)
