It's a shame, Windows 7 is what Windows could be today ... stable and usable without the big brother aspect. I have Linux on another i7 6700K system that will be my go to machine when I simply can't use Windows 7 any longer. As much as I want to love Linux though it's hard to. Linux is not nearly as polished and ready for desktop as many claim it to be. Don't get me wrong, it's powerful, just not very friendly to fix when something goes wrong. The other problem is as I get older I simply don't want to track down and repair issues. It was fun when I was younger, now it just annoys me.
Windows 11 is one step in introducing the new revenue model and making architectural changes to Windows that will support the new model.
