MS Win7 Will EOL Soon. What To Do? (humor)

This question has come up a couple times, recently. Here is One Guide To Rule Them All

"America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,,,, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe
"If we let things terrify us, life will not be worth living." -- Seneca the Younger, Roman Stoic philosopher

That came from reddit? I didn't think they allowed humor there.

After dealing with Windows since version like 3.0, I got sick and tired of about half the time I spent on my computers doing maintenance on it, like installing updates, AV scans, reinstalls, all that stuff, I went with MacOS pretty much across the board for everything at home. I still have a Windows laptop I use for a few things, and then I have a computer with Linux Mint in the garage that's a lot of fun.

I've been an MCSE since the mid 90s and Windows just ain't fun anymore. I think Windows 10 is just fine, I just can't use it as my own OS anymore.
