reasons to update to Windows x from 7:
* ads
* convenience of having things installed/uninstalled for you
* forced updates with no changelog
* naked blue titty video game lady

windows 10: it's like windows 7, but you don't have to apply a ton of updates after the initial install yet.

sorry op, but the correct answer is Windows 8.1, because it's got the best touch-screen paradigm.

I haven't updated to El Capitan yet because I heard it breaks things if you mess around in /usr/bin (which I do)

Actually reading about it more seems like I should upgrade and fix the things it breaks since I am supposed to be working in /usr/local/bin anyway.

You're probably right but ROOT and the libraries my collaboration have developed around it just love to be in /usr/local/ (which has an exception from Apple's SIP)

there will never be a better version of windows than win2k pro. fast, light, stable and with no added bullshit. that tweaked for a faster boot and better power management etc. is all that's ever been needed for a windows client
