Windows is taking a deep breath, and backing off the aggressive update/improvement kick that it has been on for the past several years, due to bugs and user dissatisfaction.

Without going into details, for me, it has been a difficult, and time consuming project, just to stay on top of the creative and innovative changes to windows 10. I am sure that younger users appreciate the changes, but being forced to learn new programs means a learning process that takes away from time that could be better used. Don't know if GMail in included in this change, but the "advances" there offer dozens of new improvements that I neither want nor need. The latest "force" to use Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome means changing some already learned non-Microsoft programs.
I have gone to the free Slimjet operating system on some of my computers.
Kudos to those who have already wisely gone to Macs. Unfortunately I can't afford the several thousand dollars that it would require to buy all new computers.
Yes... it's probably just old age, and resistance to change, but time is starting to get more precious to me, and I don't need to support Microsoft in their learning curve.
Am hoping that the change, outlined in the link is a step in the right direction. I shudder every time that little pop-up shows "click here to upgrade Windows 10".
End of Rant.
