The future of MS Windows
Kugai:
I hung on to my XP machine for years (Brought it in 2004) and only replaced it with my current Laptop around 2013 after it finally kicked the bucket (had most of my stuff backed up onto Flashdrives by then, but was still in process when it finally gave out.) Truth be told, if I could have upgraded the RAM and the Harddrive, I probably would still have it.
Current Lappie runs 8.1, and I'm not in any hurry to upgrade.

Usually quite true. My laptop is a bit under-powered for anything else these days, and for my friend, he insisted. Funny thing is that about a month or two later, Pipelight started working, and since Netflix was pretty much his sole reason for using Windows, he's just using Mint.
Stoon:
I kept XP on my desktop until MS dropped support. I then switched to Linux Mint.
My new laptop came with Windows 8.1, which I came to loathe. I made it into a dual boot with Linux Mint 17.1.
When Windows 10 comes out with its free upgrade, I'll upgrade my laptop to Windows 10, since I figure it can't be worse than 8.1. However, I'll still keep Mint as my day-to-day OS as a dual boot.
I love Linux Mint. It just works.

(See 2:20) Shock and awe! The next version of Windows will feature applications that *gasp* actually run in windows!
For real, how did they ever allow Windows 8 to take the windows out of Windows?.

So they're putting back the things that made Windows.... What's the word?
Usable! That's it, "Usable".
Whoever decided to remove the traditional Start menu in 8 had better be collecting unemployment. Windows 8 might be good on a tablet, but when its on a PC (with a mouse) it becomes completely unusable to someone who is used to the classic Windows style/layout (like me, and the older members of my family).
It takes me 5 minutes to find a progr....app on the computers at work (fortunately, we usually only use two, so they stay open all day).
