Why would I want to run Windows 10 on Linux? If I switch it will be for Windows 7 type. But Windows 7 still works for me thank you very much.

Yeah, that whole lack of security updates is a bit of a problem. And I like Windows 7 real well, too. Just not enough to run it day-to-day given that first.

Exactly. What I want is the Windows 7 UI, capable of running native Windows applications, on a Linux kernel, not the other way around (for both security and lack of spyware). Not from Redmond because I don’t want to be a spyware product for their actual customers, I’d rather the Linux geeks implement the Windows UI and API (closer than Mint’s UI, and capable of natively running windows apps)

It might be a bit harder to obtain a new license for Windows 7, now.
