How true.

A lot of the people this knucklehead deals with are still on 7 (I was doing just that last evening), and I tell them all to stick with it, despite now being out of support, until their machine dies, rather than try to move them to anything Linux. For most of them, 10 isn't an option as 7 itself is already sluggish on their old hardware (despite the fact that Linux would probably work a lot better on said hardware if I tried).

As much as I'm...ambivalent (?)...towards Windows 10, if someone must move away from 7, I do steer them towards it. And even though it's not something I would ever purchase for myself, I wouldn't tell someone to avoid a Mac if that's what they wanted - but I'm just not the guy to call if they have a problem with it. And so far, I don't know anyone (who can't do their own troubleshooting) who opted for one.
