    OMG you're right! I should have been more precise. I no longer use Windows except in a VM. And then not very often, as I only have to update Family Tree Maker once every few weeks, depending on how much I have added using the online Ancestry.com

    Windows 7 is actually pretty damn good.

    It was. Beginning in Feb., the updates made it unstable and caused application to not open. I had to remove the updates and disable updating, so security took a hit.

    I ended up removing Windows 7 from my desktop and laptop and installing Linux Mint 18, Cinnamon edition on them. I haven't regretted it one second.

    I wonder if MS will continue to support Windows 7 to the advertised EOL.

  9. I have the 2012 original Nexus 7 and use it every day. Google may have thought that their update would kill it, and it all but did kill it, but I was able to flash it back to the older Android version it came with.

    Windows 10 is the reason I changed my Windows 7 computers at home to Linux Mint 18.

    Yes, I could have stayed with "7" if I kept all of Microsoft's updates turned off. But security issues.
