Usually Micosoft operating system software upgrades are fairly painless. But I'm not sure when "downgrading"; Windows 10 to Windows 7.WWGD said:

Concur. So far reluctant/resisted installing Windows 10 on my work-laptop running version 8.2.dlgoff said:
My issue with upgrading to W 10 includes not just installed programs and apps but also years back my brother-in-law spent a day installing and fine tuning widgets and what not. Professional job.
I also liked W 7 but this laptop came with W 8. Windows 10 was just becoming available but I am waiting for Microsoft to get the kinks out of the release

Because people wouldn't upgrade. It is too often for the worse. W2003 Server ed. was the last reasonable OS.WWGD said:

Isn't that an OS for SQl Server? Besides, I thought new CEO Nutella (Sp?) was doing a better job than Gates in general.fresh_42 said:

Wow, was that some guy coughing or a motorcycle that would not start? Didn't see a motorcycle around, so...
In another note, I hope I heard incorrectly that "Python 2.7 is being defecated". Yikes, what did it do to deserve that?

After almost a month resisting, minisoft won and my PC is updating. I am "looking forward" to a few hours of doing nothing.

Two hackers meet in the street.
"Have you heard? If you play the newest microsoft CD backwards, you'll hear satanic verses!"
"That's nothing. If you play it forward you get Windows 10 installed!"

And the rehashed old one:
Only way microsoft can come up with something that does not suck is if they start making vacuum cleaners.

When I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10 my old scanner worked. But not with a new W10 laptop. All the Interweb sources said it was impossible to install that scanner. (The install failed with a "can't find file" message for a file that existed.)dlgoff said:
The scanner works with Ubuntu, plug'n'play.

I used to run Ubuntu -- until they made that huge change to the interface (I forget what it was called).WWGD said:
When that happened I came out of the bathroom, still vomiting up bits of my guts, and quickly made a dash for the OpenSUSE stall.
