And his keyboard doesn't possess a 'full stop' or 'period' key, which can be quite breath-taking to read...

well in fairness, from time to time because of my love for E.E. Cummings, I don't use punctuation.

Good call, because as we all know, the technology doesn't exist for something capable of doing all three. :D

Next thing you know, one of these crackpots will be suggesting a device that can play and record music!

wpegg: To my understanding, Win 7 extended support ends on 14th Jan 2020, until then you'll get all security updates. After then it would be foolish to keep using that OS for your mainstream use such as internet browsing, as you'll be vulnerable to drive by attacks exploiting vulnerabilities that will no longer be patched.

So basically: By 2020-01-14 either move to Linux, or move to Win 8+ (if you can get win 8, realistic view is you have to take Win 10).
Considering Linus went a little loony a while back I'm not sure if that's a good idea either.

Linux is fine. Unlike Windows, it is completely open source. I just read that MS is going to make Windows 11 Linux based for its kernel, too, in an attempt to.... do something? Apparently despite numbers for Linux being low, there's enough people using it in dual boot or primary setups, that MS is taking it seriously, my point being this.

yeah il stick with windows 10 no need to be on the latest OS unless it has something groundbreaking thats needed for gaming which i highly doubt

I actually do agree with this. I give you a lot of shit, but I admit a solid point when I see one.

I think you misunderstood that. I didn't think they were planning on ever having a Windows 11, but to switch to rolling releases.

As far as Linux goes, they aren't going to be basing the system off it, they were planing on including the kernel in the OS so that you could run Linux software more easily.

Basing their OS on Linux at this point would be suicidal. They'd give up all the advantages that come from being on a separate kernel while simultaneously gaining none of the advantages of using Linux. Also, they'd have to opensource their entire system if they did that.
