Hey Nancy!

 NB> It's Win10....

I just took a peak at what's being offered as far as preinstalled systems go 
and it appears Win10 is the top choice.  I've never seen it in action.  Most 
people here only have smartphones and/or tablets and for the mostpart Android 
is the usual suspect on those.  One Chromebook and one Mac book or whatever 
they're calling them these days.  Not counting myself only one other neighbour 
has a reqular computer and he uses linux, and has since he met me.  I think his 
motivation was to beat me at the linux game - whatever that is - but I think 
somewhere along the line he realized that we're on totally different paths as 
far as what uses a computer has to offer.  I tend to be more of a 
networking/hacker type than he is and he tends to stick to the more 'popular' 
uses such as digital photography and the such.  I am more of a 
networking/server type and as we speak I have three tiny lowpower systems 
including the raspi I am typing this reply on as well as two wireless access 
points I am customizing for those who want to use them for whatever is wanted 
at the moment.  As far as I know that is probably Facebook and/or YouTube given 
any conversations I have with the neighbours about wireless access.  All three 
are pure linux.  My main toy is also linux and I use that for my own purposes, 
mostly to play around with ideas I might have.

 NB> Lots of suckers did... and still do.... ;)

I think I was right about 2.0 though.  What I failed to see was that it had a 
future.  Beats me why.

Life is good,
Maurice
