MS has ignored the fact that many users use PCs for productivity and not the glitz and glitter of mobile and tablet connections.

MS is ignoring a large segment of PC users — those who have significant reasons for still using XP and Win7, for example.

You’re speaking my language. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t.

They have the viewpoint that they know what their customers need and want, better than their customers do. It’s a totalitarian mindset that has irked me for a very long time.

Yep. I'm running Win10 both at home and at work -- in VMs -- but where Windows is on the metal, it's Win7 all the way.

They can pry it FMCDH.
