[SML] Windows 10

[e-mail frank.wood95]

Folklore has it that the even-numbered Windows versions are awful,
while the odd-numbered ones seem to work fairly well. The latter is
certainly my own experience. After running XP for some years, I was
compelled to update to Windows 7 when my cable company gave me a new
wireless modem. While physically identical with the old one, it
doesn't talk to XP. That cost me £200, plus the loss of a number of
files, not to mention that it no longer talks to my printer. Yes, I
have chased up the appropriate new driver, but there is still a
communications problem.

All that said, I can live with Windows 7. It has its differences from
XP, notably in its file handling processes. But what later version of
any OS doesn't? I still lament the loss of the 'drag and drop' of
earlier versions.
