Sorry to be previously curt...  :-/

Here for both of us, it's a case of No MS Windows, No RISC OS as we both
use Virtual RISC OS now, her 4.39 and me 6.20 (Sometimes RPCEmu 5.31)

Acorn/RISC OS has been an important feature in our private and business
lives since 1982... (43 years) so we don't want to lose it.

We've both had many hardware Acorn/RISC OS machines over the years
starting with the BBC-B and ending up on SARPCs which were used as
aforementioned for both private and business purposes...

On the other side, we also have a number of (Important for us) MS-Win
based apps, some of which cover the lack of, or shortcomings of RISC OS
stuff.
