Re: Bottom line
What do I *Need* Windows 10 for ?
Exactly. At work, I only recently (~2 yrs) switched over to Win7. I can't say it's any better or worse than XP, which I hung onto as long as I could. I have no desire or need to "upgrade" to Win10.
Transitioning to a new OS is a huge burden for us. All the apps have to work on the new OS, the IT guys need to be comfortable with supporting it, etc. All of which means that forced upgrades are not welcome. They have the potential to interrupt our business, which is a Very Bad Thing, to be avoided if humanly possible. We would like to initiate the transition, if and when it makes business sense for us.
True, the force upgrades to Win10 have not impacted us yet. But just a few weeks ago, Microsoft increased the minimum number of seats necessary to qualify for their Volume Licensing. It's now above our seat count. So, thanks, Microsoft, for nothing.
