    Not sure why people think they are being forced to use W10. I have a W7 PC in the office that has no nags to brow beat me into updating it.
    There are years of support left for W7 for those who wish to keep it.
    It doesn't bother or surprise me that there are people who don't want W10. That said, some of the reasons people give do raise a chuckle, but that's been the case with all of Windows many faces..
    As Christmas is nearly here it may be time for all just to accept that some like it and others don't, same with Linux and IOS....

    Suum cuique...;)

    I'm not sure if you're referring to me, but I never said that I wouldn't use Windows 10 just because it doesn't have a (proper) Start menu. This whole exchange started when I explained why someone might want to install ClassicShell. I just really dislike the trend towards more eye-candy at the cost of usability. And I'm told that I need to spend 5 minutes "learning" a simple (yet tedious) UI when I don't like it and have alternatives that I'm perfectly happy with! Huh?
