I hate Windows 10 as much as anybody here, but I'm not savvy enough to change over to Apple or Linux... could I still link up with my customers who are still on Windows?
There are some still using XP and online too. How I don't know as that's what I want to do with my fresh reinstall of XP Home. And use it for gaming seeing it's a 32bit system... XP Home. It will play SH3, 4 and 5 without all the problems being encountered today. All 3 were built to run on a 32bit system.

Like you I hate 10 and 8.1. But until I can get XP Home to run as I want, I'll stick with 8.1 only. As for Linux, Microsoft says that's what they be using for their next OS build. Nothing like them sticking it to us as they have been doing.
