I never bothered with any OS after XP, although I have win-7 at work. I am sick of this forced upgrades every 2 years, just when you start getting comfy with the OS, and the lack of backwards compatibility is deliberate treachery on Mr. Bill's part. Fully agree although the W7 support has been extended to 2020 - see below copy of the official Microsoft info:
Windows 7 * Service Pack 1 <http://windows.microsoft.com/de-de/windows7/learn-how-to-install-windows-7-service-pack-1-sp1> 13. Januar 2015 14.

Their triple defense - Mainprotection, Traffic light and Quickscan as Firefox plugins works perfectly and I experience very few attacks - compared to W7. Albrecht
