Anyone else dreading 2020?

I know, that by then Win7 will be over a decade old. But still, I love Win7; it's the best MS OS that I've encountered and I'm really not looking forward to 2020!

I hate Win10 and refuse to use it. I had the same issue when Gnome 2 was replaced with Gnome 3; it's dreadful! And don't even get me started on Unity! I'm really hoping that the guys at KDE don't go down this road!

Anyway, back to the case in point; Win7. I'm hoping that by then, most of the security issues will have been found and fixed, so updates will be less of an issue. Even then, the recent patch for XP proves that if the issue is big enough (that is, that if enough users either can't, or won't 'upgrade') MS will back-patch anyway.

Thoughts?

2020 is something that's been in the back of my mind also. I don't mind Win10 but Win7 is far and away my favorite from MS. I'm going to keep learning Linux and hopefully not have to worry about it when the time comes.

Kinda funny to Google "hate Windows 7" and read posts from 7+ years ago...

Just one of the MANY ones out there:
If you love Windows XP, you'll hate Windows 7 | ZDNet

I enjoy change, keeps things interesting

Same. XP sucked when launched, took two service packs to get better. Same with Win7. Do you remember the constant Win7 is eating my HDD?
All OS come out clunky, give them time.
