Agreed. But "fixing it" by having new releases is how MSFT makes money.
From an XP user making a slow transition to Win 7. Still finding Office 200 more than adequate.
agreed but one would think if one program is so succesfully used those who wrote it would call it a “Maytag” .
who knows? i’m not in the tech biz
Of course. It was good enough for Origen :-)
This PC runs Win7, and I have no urge to move it to anything else. I have tried Win10, and it is functional... but it looks flat and terribly ugly. The stock Start menu is still broken in many ways (they still cram those Modern apps into your throat, for one) and requires Classic Shell as a replacement.
Win10 can run Metro/Modern applications in windows, which is how it should have been done from day one. It starts up and shuts down faster (like Win8), but that will be lost on pretty much everyone because sleep works fine already. If it has other improvements, I do not recall them (this should already tell you that they are not that spectacular.)
My media laptop that I use to play internet radio runs Linux Mint. I don't think I rebooted it even once in last few months. Originally it was shipped with Vista.
