Upgrades [View all]

For some of us, an Operating System is a home. We spend most of our time on it, we organize it, we customize it, we get everything exactly the way we want it, then along comes the corporation and tells us we have scrap it and get on their new OS.
I got Windows 3.1 just the way I liked it when Windows95 came out.
Well, okay.
I got Windows95 and Plus! just the way I liked it when Windows98 came out.
Well, okay...
I got Windows98 just the way I liked it when WindowsME came out.
Well, okay...
I got WindowsME just the way I liked it when WindowsXP came out.
No. I'm not gonna!
I stayed on WindowsME for eleven years, no problems.
Windows Vista.
It came on a new laptop.
Windows7
Came with a new tower.
Windows10 - the 'Operating System to end all operating systems'
Well, okay...
I get Windows10 organized, customized (I like the classic look of Windows98)
