Win 7 is plenty stable, so that is not an issue for me. Win 7 runs every bot of software I have thrown at it so the value add isn't there. Was it just time for that greedy, evil, soulless corporation to reach into the consumer's pockets again so the media propaganda machine came up with an ad campaign to convince the lemmings that their life will end without Win 10.

The reason I sound bitter is that I anticipate that in 2017 we will have to get Win 11, then Win 12, then Win 14 (They'll skip 13. Does it make anybody feel good about flying knowing airlines are superstitious and skip row 13?), all designed to take more money from us.

So, again I ask, what is the value add for Win 10. What does it do better than 7 or 8 to justify releasing it? Will this be like the travesty that was Millenium Edition where they wanted to release 2000 but it was not ready so they just put front end frills on 98 and released it as the next great thing? All so Bill Gates can have a house with parking for 20 cars....?
