I have not found any advantage access wise in win7 or the latest

I like bits and pieces of win7 menus.
1. the search box.
I never need to interact with the menu again.
run, yes I can type music, downloads or whatever a registered program

I like the office ribbon, everything is tidier, though it will be

As I said I'm not annoyed that Microsoft update their os, they have to,
even if we don't like some of their decisions on interfaces etc.

Upgrading is usually better, unless there is a problem.

Interesting. This sounds good though as we will get a fresh new
