       | works, I will keep using it.
       | 
       | And please, no specious replies about "Oh noes! The botnets!" or
       | "Linux is so much more awesome!". Do not care. Do not want. W7
       | was the peak Windows OS, and everything after it was varying
       | degrees of a dumpster fire and/or spyware.

       | Needlessly rude and needlessly pro-e-waste. I don't have any non-
       | Embedded (with EWF so they are fresh at every boot) Windows 7
       | systems but am really really sick of the forced upgrade treadmill
       | in all of computing.

         | It's not like Windows 7 will suddenly stop working. If you have
         | it installed already, you can keep using it. It's just a
         | "continue at your own risk" situation.
