It has taken me ten years to develop my nearly undetectable abilities with Windows 7. But now Microsoft, just because they can, is stopping all support for Windows 7. So if you keep it, you’ll get no updates, etc., and pretty soon you’ll be out of the saga.
Therefore we, like so many others, will be forced against our will to convert to Windows 10 (or to something even more exotic). You remember Windows 10–the system that they couldn’t even give away for free. I am sure that means it’s a truly wretched product. Can you imagine a car manufacturer getting away with this?
If this blog disappears early next year, it will be because Windows 10 has crashed through my door and eaten me alive. Oh, Patty says “Don’t worry, you’ll learn”–uh-huh: only do I really have another 20 years to devote to that? Alice says, “You’ll get used to it.” She ought to know me better than that. That’d be great if they turned out to be right and my fears proved mostly unjustified. [Laughs maniacally]
Well, let’s all enjoy it while we’ve got it. Maybe Byron the Quokka can learn Windows 10. Maybe I won’t go extinct. Here’s hoping.
