We have two system: a Windows 7 laptop that I use for work (for ssh sessions into linux clusters for software development and office productivity apps) and my wife has an iMac. The laptop will never be upgraded by my IT department beyond Windows 7 security patches. My wife's iMac is trivial to upgrade, either major or minor releases of the OS. We always keep it at the latest release of the OS. I believe there are few people who would go back to a Windows box after using a Mac. If there was a software package that is not natively available for the Mac OS you can always run a Windows emulator.

Its my understanding that windows 7 will be maintained until 2020. By then if not before I will need/ a new or want a new computer.
The confusion demonstrated on this thread convinces me that I don't want to risk an upgrade that is only going to confuse me more
Windows keeps sending me messages to upgrade now or at a scheduled future time . I keep sending a message "back that says "close window"
