NO - Windows versions

[Jock Philip]

I have a Macbook Pro running several Windows VMs and don't actually use the Mac side of things but I have a combination of Windows 7 & Windows 10.  I use the Windows 10 environment for everything other than Omnis dev work.  Windows 10 is just fine and I think it's crazy that somebody would suggest Windows 7 at this point when it's going to be completely obsolete before long and he's going to have to upgrade anyway.  I completely refused to use Windows 8, as did the rest of the planet, but Windows 10 is fine.

My personal opinion.  I am NOT an expert, I am just commenting on my experience.

Jock

Subject: NO - Windows versions

Please forgive my non-Omnis question, but I need a reliable non-biased opinion (being a Mac only person myself):

My son needs a laptop for work (just routine office stuff).  Limited funds.
His local PC 'expert supplier' has told him not to get Windows 10 because 7 is much better.

My local retailer is saying Windows 7 is no longer supported, get 10 - its perfectly OK.

What is the truth/best advice here?  Thanks in advance.

Mike
