This is the end, Windows 7 and 8 friends: Microsoft drops support this week

Linux obviously!

My Windows 7 machine has been default booting into Linux Mint for a while now. Only rarely do I find a need to fire it up in Win 7 mode.

Re: The only thing certain is

The ECHR is not part ot the EU. It's a totally separate institution. Teresa May might hate it (I don't really understand why a rational person would) but leaving the EU won't affect our membership of the ECHR.
