Not everyone has a couple hundred laying around just to buy a new computer. Why should he even buy a new computer just because Microscam Corporation decides to stop support?

I happen to like Linux, it gets out of my way; lets me work. I think every OS has it merits though.

For my use, I just like to stick with Windows.

FreeBSD running Proxmox with a windows 7, Linux, and Windows 8.1 virtual machine.

Sorry not sorry.

While his may not be the case with that particular person, I just wanted to drop my 2c on the "buy a new one" concept.

One thing to keep in mind is that many poorer countries get our e-waste, which is often functional, older machines. These machines may not run newer software, or the people using them may not be able to afford newer software, or both.

I can tolerate Windows 7. Have you tried StartIsBack and other modifications for Win8.1 to look like Win7?

On-topic: For desktop, Linux Mint or Debian with KDE. For server, Debian or Ubuntu.
I <3 free software
