Win 7 wasn't constantly being upgraded every 6 months like 10 is. You got service packs and patches to fix already inplace features. WIn 10 version updates can change or add new features.
I don't
want new features! Not
forced on me, at least. Let
me decide when I want to upgrade.
If you only look at bad news, windows 10 looks terrible... but so did all the other ones before it. Its only time that makes the others perfect in your minds. I will take 10 any day over Millenium edition... or even 8.
I'm calling BS on that. Win 7 has been rock solid for the entire time I've run it (which is since SP1). I don't remember there ever being this kind of news about Win7. Sure, there were a few bad updates, but I think a lot of that happened after MS started trying to push people onto Win10 and took their focus off Win7.
I always kept putting off upgrading to Win10 until it became stable, which it never has. That, and the whole thing about MS' utter disregard for users' privacy.
I'm seriously wishing I could completely drop Windows, rather than go to Win 10, but I need it to work from home. I wish ReactOS were further along. It'd be cool if someone like Google had gotten behind that, in a big way.
