I'll stick with Win 7
As will I. They'll need to pry Win 7 from my cold dead fingers. I read a few reviews on 10 yesterday, and the general consensus is that it's almost as good as 7, (better in some parts, worse in others) if you replace that hybrid start menu thingy with Classic Shell and get used to where they've moved things. Yeah. No.
Well, seeing how its an extension of Windows 7/8 and there is nothing missing that is in 7 really. Although if new interfaces bother you, it could be a reason to stick with Win3.1
You need to read reviews from professionals, not friends on Facebook;)
My windows 7 box was up for 2 years straight, not even having to reboot for video card drivers. (I did reboot it one time because I added a new hard drive and video card on the same day).
I only recently rebooted it for the insider fast ring of windows 10.
The fanboi myth that windows needs to be rebooted daily, is just that... a myth. Or you suck at choosing hardware... one of the two.
It's surprising to me, and telling of the CPU industry that this processor, that is 6 years old, still competes fairly well with the most capable modern processors for gaming (and is in fact faster than a 2500k for anything involving memory intensive processes).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The processor these days is quite old, but I haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade in many years. It is primarily for gaming and yet, the processor matters so little. Some day I might upgrade purely for the benefit of newer memory, which will require a new board and processor.

I can't remember what they were called, but every quarter the schools would pass out these book ordering forms and inside them was a series of books that featured a kid named Orion.
The books were kids adventure novels, but the unique part about the book was that every chapter or two the kid would come across a clue and for you to "learn" what the clue was, you had to type in a basic program and execute it on your computer. This would reveal whatever the answer was and they were generally pretty short 20 lines or so. But having done this for 10 or so books I really looked forward more to the little programs than I did the books after a while. They started me down the line of figuring out what these programs did in 2nd grade on an Apple IIe
As a doctor, if she can't save $1,000 a year for a system she *knows* she has to upgrade (surprise, windows has a support life cycle), then she really is pretty irresponsible to begin with.
She is lucky MS gave 12-13 years of support on this OS in the first place (that is a really long time for them). My advice: Take responsibility for your own mistakes.
Myspace runs their entire operation on Windows with full time in house Microsoft Employees to keep it running. Doubtful they will be owning anything linux, anytime soon:)
I'm a modern geek... I am just not a fanatical one... a computer monitor is != to a nice TV.
In addition, there are probably 100 people alive that would ever use it through a DVI hookup, so... losing 100 sales rather than putting a.20 part on 10 million+ consoles... probably a smart choice.
(as a note, they would have to lose over 8000 sales just to break even on including a.20 part at 10 million consoles)
Can you please show us all where Linux is eating Microsofts lunch? I have yet to see a report showing linux eating anything other than college hobbyists and a very small server markets left overs. At best Linux is eating into Unix market share, specifically the small scraps Windows doesn't consume as itgrows.
Even OsX has over taken linux as a desktop OS.
As for there being more linux developers than windows... thats great, let me know when they write something other than yet another version of minesweeper (or some other crappy knockoff game), the 32nd chat client that sucks, the 200th+ text editor we don't need. Better yet, the 50th crappy desktop shell. Quality over quantity here. Sad to say, Microsoft has better quality (clearly not security, but in every other way, they have quality).
Before you bitch about bloat and blue screens (the common misinformed linux answer), lets look at KDE and emacs for bloat, and find me a knowledgeable computer person that ever gets blue screens anymore. Yes they happen, but with linux they actually patch IN blue screens. I know I don't get them and haven't seen one since XP was released(other than with beta drivers or intentional bad configurations).
Its amazing that anyone would agree with that rambling let alone another girl. Must just be a "a girl posted I must agree with her, stick together!" mindset. There was nothing rational or logical in the "why I dislike Cliffy B" statement.
Epic has done more for game development and pushing technology than Betheseda *ever* will.
Not to mention for $2000 there is no way this laptop will be capable of running the game beyond low levels. Why on earth wouldn't you buy a real computer with twice the power for the same price?

I foolishly met up with friends last night who were at the midnight release at the Fountain Valley Fry's.
I arrived right about midnight, but they had already been standing in line for roughly 2 1/2 hours. The line wrapped once around the entire building, then again around the outside of the parking lot, and then went down the street for roughly a block.
There was a food truck, a radio station was there broadcasting music...
From the point where I got in, we didn't get into the store until 3am. There were at my guess... 5,000 - 10,000 people waiting in line. At one point they brought in a moving truck filled with more copies to meet the demand, and then they still ran out of collectors edition copies. Luckily for some there were guys scalping them in line...
