I bought a new machine with Win7 three months after it debuted....out of necessity  (because my 5-yr old unit with XP went to pot).

Knock on wood, it has been trouble free for almost six years. I have no plans to update until I need a new machine.

I have a few friends who are going through the update to Win10 and all say it is full of bloat-ware and a lot of hidden "automatic-on crap" that has to be manually manipulated through sub-menus to turn off.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Having been the generation that actually invented this stuff, (I worked for the guy that invented Random Access Memory btw), I tend to skip generations of software releases.  I'm on 7 (I don't count 8 as it was mainly aimed at tablets) and I'll probably not upgrade until the one after 10.

I really don't want my desktop, main line PC to act or feel like a tablet.  I'm happy with the UI just the way it is.

Exactly.   Making a "One Size Fits All" OS will give it "features" for one type that will be useless overhead for others.

I remember hearing that the first OS for the IBM PC had code to read punched cards because that was required by IBM policy for all OS. 

Not sure if that is true or if it included the first release of Windows by IBM requirement.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
