You sound like me. Except I never considered Apple. I don't like their walled garden. I don't begrudge those who do,but for me, I need freedom.

Even in this day and age,every MS OS requires a complete reinstall at least once a year. I am barely running Win8.1 and know I will need one soon. You can get my cleaning out the accumulated garbage,but is easier to reinstall.

Linux is going to explode with Windows refugees in the near future. Windows insiders are saying MS wants ver 10 to be the last OS version. They are downgrading the OS department and shifting the people to other departments.
Makes sense. What do I need the constant hassle of Windows for anymore? A few games (and that is changing fast on the Linux side,from what I hear).
See all these decades we thought Bill Gates just sucked at making Operating Systems. But he had a devious master plan. Make the OSes so bad the people won't buy them anymore and Microsoft will finally not have to be annoyed by needy customers. Hehehe.

The only reason I am using Win8.1 now is a PIM called Amigo that I started using in probably 2001 (I switched from InfoSelect-which I stared using on my 386Dx 20Mhz which cost me $3500 at the time...yeah,I'm old). I could replace Amigo with one giant text file if I had too,but I am so use to it-my whole adult life is in there-I put up with Windows. I have to pull the trigger and dump MS.

I rejected all the begging and trickery from MS to upgrade to Win10...now with all the Win10 problems friends and family are telling me about,I'm looking like a genius! Thanks MS! Your incompetence makes me look good!
Although I do have to admit it does look nice under VirtualBox. But I only played with it slightly.
