   - It doesn't crash or freeze up as often, this might seem to be real progress for microsoft, but they've only had 30 years of windows to write an OS which doesn't crash frequently. Hardly an achievement really.
   - The Menu is better than w8, but that's a low base to compare with. But it's still just hard to use, it's easier to type the app into the search bar, but instead of just showing apps installed, if it doesn't find what you are after it just returns internet based links.
-  - Sleep, I have a dual monitor setup, laptop screen and external HDMI monitor (sadly still no multiple desktops it seems, see [[rb:whywin7isrubbish#multiple_desktop_support|Windows 7 is rubbish and KDE/Linux is better]]) but if I close the laptop lid to sleep, whne I open it again, all the windows are on the laptop screen, seems incapable of remembering where I want windows putting. Given the name of the OS, that's more than a bit ironic. I'd just like to put Windows in the recycle bin of course...

 So frankly, in three years of having to use it, still nothing I couldn't have done easier, better and more securely than with Linux and Mac.

-It's 2025, who uses floppy disks these days? How many users (children) new to computing even know what a floppy disk is? So how are they expected to know to click an unknown object to save their work? Bit like having a punched card icon to click for older computer users.

 Or better still, don't keep a hidden stockpile unless your name is Kim.
+===== Time to switch =====
+If you have decided to move away from windows, hopefully I've done my bit, but even MSN has an article from Apple about why you should to a Mac:- [[https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/technology/windows-10-end-of-life-apple-gives-us-5-reasons-smbs-should-make-the-switch-to-mac-before-windows-10-goes-awol/ar-AA1OjMxS?]]
+If you have an older pc which cannot be "upgraded", search for articles about a real upgrade of your OS to Linux. I've used it as a desktop system for 20 years and if you have an open mind, I'd recommend it without hesitation.
