Why I’m staying with W7.

I'm with you! Win 7 forever. It just works.

I miss DOS. I could move/share data between Lotus and dBase III plus which I taught myself to program in, display it in Harvard Graphics and plug it into Word documents. People thought I was smart :) Now a Chimp can do all of that.

You beat me to it! I never thought of W10 as a good release. I’m still very biased toward W7, that’s why I have a tri-boot system with W7, W10 and Linux, and the only reason why I got W10 is because it’s supposedly more secure than W7.

Ah yes, a DOS man! I did the same thing. 3.3 was great, 4.0 crap, but I waited until DOS 6 came out to make the move upward.

After Win-7 Pro x64, ALL Windows OSs have been crap.

XP was the last M$ OS that sold itself. Everything since then the consumer has had to be extorted or strongarmed into switching to (in no small part because they keep making drastic changes in the user interface, so with each new version you have to learn how to use Windows all over again).

If you want a version of Win10 with all of the M$ bloatware, crapware & spyware removed (which also inadvertently disables authentication verification), look into Windows 10 Ameliorated (Win10 AME).
