As much as people are saying they won't upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8.1, what are your future computing plans?
Yes, there have been some... not so pleasant... versions of Windows, but it is a prevalent product in the workforce, and, it will just be a matter of time before we are required to upgrade our work computers to something else.
So.. will you stay on Windows 7 until Windows NEXT (whatever comes after 10) is available?
If you work on systems for clients and they are on Windows 10, how will you test/support them?
Not for or against any particular version, just asking question.

Well since MS announced that Windows X will be the final Version that gets updated continouusly i'd personally try to stay on 7 as long as possible to prevent the yearly charge and unpleasant changes of the OS.
The switch will happen when 7 runs out of Support i think, if earlier then because of killer-features 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

They're not going subscription... Updates are still free once you move to X. They're just giving up on charging for version upgrades, and continuing to make money on corporate licenses and the OEM tax.
As for the "unpleasant changes"... Yeah, that's a definite possibility.

I thought they were moving to the Firefox model

they started at X.000000000001.0000000000001 Build 1
if(this.signature != "")

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

At exactly what point do we stop calling them "updates" and start calling them "forced pull requests"?

when MS copyrights that phrase (probably next Tuesday)

I'm not sure yet.
What I'll probably do is a fresh system image, then install 10 and either keep it or restore right back over the top.
Win 8 was so execrable and unloved that MS have got to get it right this time, and they know it. If they get it wrong this time as well it could destroy them in the desktop market.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Just making a joke. I complain about MS but they do have a large market share and some times it works .

Overrated. Just one single unwashed rebel comes flying through your bridge window and the ship automatically heads straight towards the biggest thing it can slam into.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

wasn't my fault I told them it should have been in a try catch block

Would it not have been easier to put all the rebels into little try-catch blocks?

that was in the next sprint release, as were defensive guns that worked against small ships and shields that stopped ships as well as rock (how they managed to build them so that they stopped huge rocks but allowed enemy ships though is beyond me, I think the outsourced software house "Yoda software" may have made a mess of the code) serves them right for using agile

I agree. I have no issues with Microsoft products. Never really have. I don't get the whining.
Until there's something better, I'll keep making a good living by making Microsoft products even better.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Doesn't matter. As long as I have the correct version of Visual Studio for my project and a browser to get to Stack Overflow CodeProject, I'll be fine
