Most people in The Villages don't need the power of Windows and now they may be forced to buy a new computer to run a system they don't need.
I gave up on Windows after Win 7 and switched to Linux (Mint Cinnamon). I've converted about a dozen people here in The Villages to Linux and none have asked to go back to Windows. Even 10 year old PCs run great on Linux.

Remember, Windows has billions of dollars to spend on marketing, Linux if free and maintained by thousand of volunteers that keep it safe and up to date. There is no "Linux" company.

Want to try it? I can help.
