Have you any reason to believe the amount of hell breaking loose will be
any different for the end of 10, than it was for the end of XP and 7?
There were plenty of doom-sayers then, and I'm sure there will be at the
end of 11, too. (Not that there's been _anything_ actually from M$ about
W12, though lots of people love to speculate.)

I know what I want from mine, and it certainly isn't constantly hanging
on M$'s coat-tails. I used both XP and 7 well beyond their cutoff dates
(I means _years_), and little ill befell me; if I hadn't had to use

Alcohol is way ahead of cocaine as the world's deadliest drug, hastening
around
three million people per year into their graves (cocaine and heroin and
crystal
meth account for around half a million annually).
