I held off on Windows 10 for as long as I could until my job required it. Now this nonsense. I hope this isn't the start of them joining on the web DRM bandwagon.

I like how you just assumed win7.

I held off to - when 7's support ended I moved to 8.1 and used openshell to make it look like 7. When 8.1 support ended I moved to 10 finally. I have to stay on a supported os for security and compliamce, but I make my employer pay for the upgrades and I don't rush to the latest version - as long as its still supported I'm not moving.

I have a light at the end of the tunnel tho. My work tools are getting official linux versions. My work laptop has been windows but my home desktop has been linux. I may be able to drop windows entirely soon.

Edit: "he didn't upgrade AND he disagreed with our hive minds opinion! Quick downvote!" How about you just Go back to reddit losers.

Of course I assumed windows 7, no one liked Windows 8/8.1

I'd wouldn't blame anyone for skipping right over it to 10, it's what I did. We are all required to run 11 now but 10 is still fine from a security posture at the moment in my opinion.

I'm not security, just a network engineer with a background in security auditing, so I could have out of date info on 10 still being safe, but it still gets updates at least.
