All of the computers in our house have Windows 7. We just bought 3 refurbished laptops and had the option of "upgrading" to Windows 10. We're all dreading the end of support for 7 in 2010. I prefer using my own hard drive to store my personal info. I don't like the cloud. Everybody in computerland wants their hand up your skirt and in your pocketbook. Whatever happened to privacy? We've all given away our private information, our photos, and everything we do is being tracked online. Most of our laptops and devices can take our photos and fingerprint us and know where we are or what we're doing at any given moment. Voice recognition is being incorporated into our tv remotes, etc., allowing the ability for anyone to hear what's happening in our homes. I read recently that passwords are going to be eliminated soon because technology has been developed that allows the computer to recognize you through your keystroke patterns and so on. The cloud, Facebook, Google, even Microsoft Office are all part of a bigger picture that eliminates our privacy. Unless you live off the grid, I don't know how you remain linked into society without being part of the collective. If I want to be online, I know it's inevitable that I'll eventually have to end up with Windows 10, or switch to Apple or Linux. XP and Windows 7 are about as perfect as an operating system gets, in my humble opinion. The bugs have mostly been worked out and I also have a collection of older software that I won't be able to use without them. Even if they work out the kinks of Windows 10, I don't think I'll ever be happy to switch. But it's either that or be without a computer, and I do love my computer...
