Windows XP ran fine for years while Vista plagued homes and businesses alike. Once Win 7 was stable, I made the move. Windows 8 and it's upgrades didn't do anything for me, so we'll just have to see how 10 goes. I use virtual machines for all the old OSes (including DOS) that I abandon because occasionally I need to run old software that just won't run on my latest machines.

That's about right. I stuck with 2000 for a couple of years after XP came out. Then ran XP far into the Vista range. I did move to Vista about a year before 7 and then 7 about two years after it came out. I am still on 7, never did 8. My wife has 8 on her laptop. Came with it. And now 10. Hmmm. I am not liking the forced updates. Apparently the Enterprise edition has an option to shut off autoupdate.
