I’ll stay with WIN-7 Pro as long as I possibly can w-wo/support, since it’s as good or better than XP Pro was (IMO), and then go to a Mac or Linux. Screw MS and this Win-8 crap BS.
yeah, this is like when XP was on SP2 and running rock solid when they tried to force feed the masses Windows Vista. That was only 5 years ago now, and they should have learned their lesson from that fiasco, but sadly they did not. Windows 7 is like XP was 10 years ago; ie. a stable platform that Microsoft for whatever reason seems destined to kill in fovor of their vision of trying to be like a damned touch tablet OS, or another attempt at being a wannabe Apple OS.
