I have moved on to Linux Mint 16, and won't be using Windows again.
It does everything I need it to do, and it's fun to use.

My family is moving on to MACS. We're among the last ones hanging on to
Windows. After all these recent problems with Vista and W7, we may join
them when these computers w/Windows crash and burn for the last time. I
played with a friend's W8 for awhile and wasn't impressed.

If these other rumors are to be beleived...

...your family may be re-united anyway, even if you stay with Windows.


It may happen even sooner than anyone may imagine. There is already
sufficient cross-platform developments involving not only software but
hardware as well. Transitioning between Windows to Macs or vice versa
is common practice today and typical of every day use. The glue that
might bond them more closely could well be a reversion to a highly
user-friendly form of Unix. Hey, we're certainly going that way.
