used to be this innovative company that was going to change the world. And, with Windows 95, it probably did. But, now, it seems that everything they touch goes to crap.

I have Windows 10 on a small laptop that barely gets used, and I hate it. Most all of my work (including this post) is done on an eleven year old Dell Inspiron that I upgraded from Vista to Win 7, just to get another couple of years of patch support. When it finally dies, I don't know what I'm going to replace it with.
