Re: As soon as Windows 7 support finishes

Besides, I don't think my laptop will last much longer, I've had it for 7 years already! I will be moving onto Linux.

I would be pretty disappointed in a laptop that only lasted 7 years. I have a 12 year old one (HP/Compaq) and a 9 year old one (Asus) that still work fine; the latter one is still one of my primary PCs. The HP/Compaq is too limited by hardware obsolescence for that, but even underpowered hardware can have niche uses.

Planned obsolescence can go take a long walk off a short pier. Oh, and so can Windows 10... that's on my list of possible OS choices right after "don't choose any; stop using computing devices altogether." I won't be doing that, but if it was a choice between that or Windows 10, I guess I could rediscover paper books and what not.
