"People want things to be the same from where they first came across them."

I'm content if things stay the same as they did when they evolved to be adequate for my purposes.

I use Windows 10 but so a far I haven't noticed anything where it serves me better than Windows 7 - other than the hardware it is on. I guess some features may be more effective for newcomers to Windows. I think that by Windows XP the user interface was fairly mature - being familiar with that allowed me to find my way around a couple of Linux desktops with less effort than using Windows 10. I moved to Windows 7 to use more memory.

I use Windows 7 on a non-internet connected network for some things where I have fairly pricey perpetual licences that won't run on Windows 10 without taking out an annual subscription. It's nice that it's the same today as it was yesterday and last year. Nothing getting screwed up by updates.
