alacran Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 First let me tell you I am a Windows user since v3.11, second I don't use any version of Linux on my PC, but with recent info about privacy issues in Win10 I don't know how this is going to end. Free Software Foundation article: "Microsoft's Software is Malware" is here: http://www.gnu.org/proprietary/malware-microsoft.en.html I know they are using this to promote free software as Linux, but I think reading the full page and all links in it is someting we all shoud do and then make our own conclusions.

ZortMcGort11 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) I'm glad I'm still on ME :-) As long as I can read the Drudge Report, check my Gmail (using plain html version) and read message boards/forums, and laugh at one-star reviews on Amazon, It's all fine and dandy. My nephew plays Commander Keen and Secret Agent (another Apogee classic) on this computer, so it's not an entire waste of electricity.
