Windows 2000 is probably the closest a Microsoft OS comes to being "beloved" for me, because it took the best parts from Windows 9x and the best parts from Windows NT and got rid of a heck of a lot of the worst of both. It was like hey, twenty or so years later and you fuckers finally got it right! I was worried when XP first came out and it took a long time for me to start using it, but it turned out to be a good OS... it lasted the longest of their graphical OSes, didn't it?
I'm cautiously optimistic about Windows 10. But to be honest I don't intend to be an IT tech as a career after this summer, so my only real concern would be using it, not supporting it. That's a very different scenario for me because the geek in me likes futzing around with this stuff, and I'm willing to deal with the changes and adjustments. The only headaches Windows 10 will cause me are my own, and I can handle those without breaking a sweat.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
