I am still running Windows XP which I like, however, is no longer supported. Shall continue with this for the moment.
With a greater number of sites now requiring acceptance of cookies and or the need to "sign up", I fear programs like the new Windows 10 will record computer usage under the guise of "marketing purposes", however, it would not surprise me that somewhere along the line the security services have there sticky fingers involved for the purposes of monitoring any activity they consider illegal or a threat to National security (whatever that is)
my new one is already to upgraded but the other one wit W7 I'm waiting for their notification but not installing still on my new one even when is ok to do it/waiting for the moment

I had to make a win 98 boot disc to be able to manage some musical hardware just yesterday. I have a stack of older computers that are garbage to many but for me it makes the difference in being able to take advantage of so many other programs that I really enjoy. I like Win 7. I also like xp and win 98se or ME. For me all of these have uses. Also "win 2000 pro". I don't care much for win 8 unless it is on your phone but even on a phone I would rather have android or apple. I try and stay away from the newer ones but at the same time I have to know how to troubleshoot them. that's about it. ;-} ps...for kicks I wish I still had my Kaypro. lol
TheresMyFriend: Has anyone installed the new upgrade to Windows10 yet? If so, what is your opinion so far? I haven't yet, till I get more info of it...!
My main computer is a Mac, but still have a new Gateway Laptop for any Windows related issues I come into. i.e. repair/setup for customer.

Plan to upgrade but am waiting for them to get the bugs out.I have a tendency to act like it is the end of the world when my computer don't run right. Kind of is for me. I do my grocery list and everything on my computers. I mean what if I have to pick up a pencil and write something
Got live help a 3 AM in the morning, said my earphones did not work because Windows 10 did not support that 3rd party hardware. So I switched back to Windows 8.1 now Windows 10 is trying to install itself on me again.
