Long term support? Holy crap, how long is your LTS? 2.6x kernels were at 
*least* 2 years ago or more!

But of course. Obviously my OS of choice is Linux for anything server-wise. But 
I still keep up with Windows due to a bad COD addiction. :) And for the 
records, Win10 is awesome compared to Win8. So you're safe to upgrade as long 
as you have the hardware to support (which I know you do on at least one 
machine I heard about.. lol)

Regards,
Nick
