"Newer Feature" tends to mean IF you're keeping up with the latest, and I don't particularly think that everything in the 'latest', is as user-friendly as I care for.

   When I had my big disc failure recently, I had a friend who knew all the tricks to copy my data from a failed disc and replace it.. and re-install Win7..including updating the BIOS!

I'm now in 'reinstall everything I want' mode... (mostly done what's needed.) I have 2 working desktop WIN7 PCs and one laptop.. but only this one is configured like *I* want... the others are emergency use toys that my wife had set up in her own way and with her settings.

I have several protection and monitoring programs and I don't do stupid stuff... I think I have gone for 8-10 years without seeing any notice of viruses being countered... and I am 123.796% careful of dangerous emails and popups...etc...

(my son got me an iPhone several months ago, and IT just demanded I enter my passcode for the first time in a couple of months... and that's the one thing I hadn't written in a safe place.. and it took me 2 hours to jump thru their hoops before I learned what to do.. and finally remembered the numbers..

Damn the hackers that make all these precautions necessary!

Being up to date with newer features just ain't worth it!
