Well, it was bound to happen. MS will close all the loopholes till every PC users is on Windows 10

Eventually I guess everyone will have to move over to Win 10 :( Although I am on it, I feel for those who simply prefer something like Windows 7.

to be honest, i dont care what MS does with windows.

windows 10 has moved back to the secondary OS on my machine. mint 17.3 works like a dream. i dont game on PC so i dont really need windows.

but yeah, for every windows user, this news does suck. MS forcing everyone to their new OS cutting off all other avenues.

That's great! People seem quick to forget there are alternatives besides windows and Mac. I have a dual boot u ubuntu and windows laptop and love the versatility and security of ubuntu.
