But will Windows ever get to 11?

W10 is now three years old and will be four by the time that W7 support is pulled - so I would expect that Microsoft is working on another version by now. I use Vista, W7, W8 and W10 daily - and there's an XP system that's used for old software support.

Every time this subject sticks its head up we have the usual "move to Linux" comments (yawn). But the fact is that most people are not moving to Linux, it's just too different - I think there's a market opening for an operating system that looks like, and works like, Windows 7 but runs on OpenBSD or some other secure system - W10 may be "free" but I'd happily pay for security, no data leakage and being able to get on with my work without learning this months features.
