I’m sticking with my old faithful Office 2003, on my Windows 7 PC, thank you very much.

When my XP desktop died, I cried. I lost a scanner and laser printer, because they didn't have Win7 drivers.

When my Win7 desktop died, I cried. I almost lost a scanner and color laser printer, because they didn't have Win10 drivers.

I did discover Virtual Box and managed to get a working version of Win7 running in it. Now, when I need to print or scan, I can run the Virtual Box and print from that Win7. It is kind of cumbersome to have to do that, but that is better than having to buy a new printer and scanner.

You can buy NEW Windows 7 (even XP) desktops from NIXSYS in their “Legacy” line. They custom build them. I have mine all picked out and am about ready to place an order.

This is the hell we tolerate from the IT industry. I saw no.

I still kept using WinXP until i needed a hardware change — then Bill Gates locked me out with 3 days notice. Never any penny to Gates, et al.

Used Quattro Pro is the day (1994) for spread sheet. Now use LibreOffice Calc on Ubuntu.
