This is very witty and entertaining, and informative, and reminds me much of a Lewis Black show.

My own attitude, based on bitter and repeated experience, is not to jump to a newer OS until it had been on the market for a year or so and other (more computer savvy) people had stumbled over all (or most) of the bugs and MS had cooked up a remedy. I was more than content with my Commodore-64 until the hardware started sputtering, then I switched to a PC and found the internet. The fact is that I could have continued happily with my old XP system -- but the hardware was dying and it seemed sensible to upgrade to a newer (bigger and faster) machine with W7 (same decision I had made years earlier when my Windows95 setup went Alzheimer). For the moment, W7 works nicely, I am learning its peculiarities and advantages and I'll stick with it till the hardware dies of old age ... by which time Windows may be into the double digits.

Far be it from me to tell anyone else what to do but I always promote Linux because it is a superior operating system. And there are so many "flavors" (distributions or distros) of Linux that there is something for everyone.

Same here. Unless there comes a critical need for a newer OS due to seriously cool features and functions which matter to people, rather than what MS is trying to force down people's throats, Win7 is the one to stick with.
