I have one of the company's very last Win7 boxes and I'm damned happy
about it - Win10 doesn't look appealing at all.  If they're adding in
virt desktops though that makes it look a little better.  As Windows
goes, Win7 isn't too bad.  Just wish each successive version of Windows
didn't require such astronomically larger disk space - it's not that I
care about the hard drive, as capacity is cheap these days, it's just
the aesthetic of needing so many gigabytes to do such little good.
Windowmaker does everything I need in a desktop, so it's hard to imagine
what the order of magnitude more code provides me as a user.
