    I have games I like to play that I can't anymore because of 10, I used to keep an old laptop just to play them on 7 but I kind of gave up. But in honesty I haven't tried Linux since a couple years ago but I don't have faith.

    The whole OS industry sucks, Microsoft is a monopoly. You get what they give you, like it or not.

    Just be a good lemming and like it.

    Hooray for capitalism.

    There are emulators, yes. But you were talking OSes like MS and Mac. Android runs on Chromebooks.

    Regardless my point was Android has beaten out both MS and Mac. So much for these monopolies that you guys squawk about.

    Chromebooks are hybrid machines that are designed to use internet based apps like Office 360 and store everything on the cloud. I've tried Office 360 and the apps are not as robust as the installed variety. If your internet goes down, your Chromebook is useless. Also those internet based apps like Office 360 come with a yearly fee. You never own them.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    I know how it works.

    Feel free to submit your privacies and rights because you subscribe to stupid youtube theoretical videos.

    Millennial idiots are on par with your thought process and the decline of freedom isn't far behind. You won't live long enough to see it but I will, and unfortunately my children will live it.

    I don't care about idiots like you but I care about my children. They will never live a life of freedom that this nation was initially designed to be.

    Google offers free office apps. I don't use M$ apps anymore except at work.

    LOL. You're just like Gleed who the other day in arguing individual rights over social rights did a 180 and argued social rights until that was pointed out and he switched back. You just did the same thing. He too resorts to pathetic ad hom when anyone criticizes his opinions. Maybe you're the same sock.

    Post a youtube video on that, maybe I'll ignore that too but it will make you feel better about the issue.

    Except you're not ignoring. Another self-contradiction. Keep posting. This is fun like shooting ducks in a barrel.

    Great.

    I'll defer right now because you're hijacking someone's thread because you're old and bored and have no concept of life.

    You have the last word, hope the youtube video is great. Maybe someone else will post something useful for Who's thread.
