If only MS would continue to update it.

I've heard that already all it is outdated.

I have asked for advice on this a few times, but kept running different Windows systems, both at home and office as well. I haven't yet discarded the idea, though.

Seems silly considering there are native Linux versions of steam for every distro... any games that would work in steam through wine should be in the linux version already

A few years ago, one of my responsibilities at work was to oversee and maintain a Windows-based network ... and that was more than enough to make me realize what an inherently lousy operating system Windows is. I switched to Mac at home, and never looked back.

If I were still more of a tech hobbyist these days I'd supplement my home Macs with a Linux box, but I've kind of worked past all that. I fiddled with computers for years, and now I just want them to effortlessly complete the tasks I assign them to do ... and Macs are perfect for that.
