They skipped windows 9 and went from windows 8 directly to windows 10 because microsoft thought "grandson of shit" would sound less odorous less than "son of shit".

i wonder if 10 is going to be as much more of a resource-hog over 7 as 7 was over XP?

I'll get the free upgrade and play with it, but I'm not expecting to like it. MS has a long history of fixing what's not broken.

You'll thank me later.
