I knew the day was coming, and it seems there's now only eight months 
left before Windows 7 support ceases.

I could probably switch to Linux, and run Windows 7 stuff in a VM for 
any programs that aren't supported under Linux. I already have several 
systems running Linux anyway (Fedora, for historical reasons).

Alas, I don't think that's an option for my family members, and I see 
Windows 10 in their futures, which probably means that I'll end up 
dealing with the issues that arise when its behaviour its modified 
without warning with updates.

Actually, I'm not sure why I'm posting this. Maybe I'm just hoping for 
some reassurance that things won't be that bad.

Probably the wrong group for that.

Sylvia.
