Besides, who knows if by then, Win10 will no longer be the "bid deal of
the day"? XP stayed in business, whilst we saw Vista and Win7 come,
being debated, and finally being replaced by Win8, and Win8.1. Today
everyone is screaming for us to update to Win10, or our computers will
suffer a painful death tomorrow. This debate could go on and on, and
there is only one answer that really works.
Go get all the facts, compare them with your personal needs, ecconomy
and taste; then sit down and make your personal decision. Does anyone
agree with your decision, fine. Does anyone disagree, they may have
their own solution, and you go for yours.
Guys, when a person asks advice on this list, why don't we give them the
facts, and if necessary some personal experience, and then leave them
open to make their decision. Kind of tired of hearing people knocking
the table with their more or less pre-quoted arguments, that only
today's technology is the best, and everything else will bring you down.
Such is not, and hardly ever has been, the case. Present facts, and let
the user decide upon information.
Win7 is told to stay in business for some three more years. Who knows
what will come up in between. And how long will Win8.1 be supported?
Just like XP, not supported, does not mean don't work any longer. We
have seen two years pass, since XP was no longer supported, and people
still use it. Even if you get a Win7 or 8 machine today, and decide to
upgrade to Win10 - or any future version - at a later time, all you will
have to do, is to pay the upgrade. No real reason to hurry, or rush that
upgrade at the moment. I, and many others, have not bothered the
upgrade. Even have installed third-party software to block any nagging
messages, urging us to do so. The fact that you read this message -
right now - only proves to you, that even with what the geeks consider
old-fashioned versions of Windows, I am still able to read and reply to
emails. I still pay my bills, order my stuff from the net, and do what I
used to. OK, XP had to go, but I do have the choice of cheap Win7 and
Win8 machines, and they are going to serve for a number of years still,
unless all computers will stop working.
Interestingly, some of the big netshops over here, for a moment
advertised their computers preset for Win10. For who knows what reason,
they lately sell their computers only as Win7 and Win8 machines. Yes,
you did read me correctly. Only two days ago, they advertised a machine,
brand new, with Win7 32bit on it. Looking down their lists, I see more
Win7 machines, than I see Win10, and I am getting the feeling Win8 is
the least represented version.
Summing it all up from here:
You guys who want Win10, run and get it, and then may you enjoy it.
Those of you who do not want the latest and greatest, stick with what
you have or can get. Those who are considering an upgrade, go get the
facts, and make your INFORMED decision. And those of you who wants to
assist people in their query, please stick with clear facts, and drop
your personal add-ons.

Windows 7 isn't going to be supported for too much longer. I'm using Windows 10
and have really grown to like it. It take a little to get used to the new GUI
but it's not bad. But I've been using WLM since windows 7 and it still works
well with 10.

Hi Kim,
I'm still using Eudora as my email client, and I'm running Windows 7.
I'd definitely upgrade to the latest version of Window-Eyes, but I
don't know the price. Someone will, though.
Blessings,
Linda

I'm purchasing a used computer that has Windows 7 on it. With all the things I
read daily on this list, I'm thinking I should wait a while longer to switch to
Windows 10.
My question is this. Actually, two questions. What email client works well
with Windows 7? I understand that Outlook Express which I've been using with
XP which I currently have is now gone.
The other question is should I keep Window-Eyes Version 8.4, or should I
upgrade to the latest version, and how much would that cost?
thanks for your advice.
Kim Lingo
