Is it a coinsidence

That my Windows VISTA started locking up about the same time that Windows 10 was released?
PS I'm using Linux right now)
 

I don't think so. About the same time Microsoft stopped supporting XP ours got a fatal virus type thing. Computer fixer I know says he had the same complaint with dozens of other XP 'puters. If it's connected to the internet I think MS sends out a "suicide order" and the thing dies. As long as it's not connected it will run and run.

FWIW- Windows 10 sucks swamp water. I'm thinking of going to Linux too. played with it a little. Just have to get around to it.
 
There is usually an alternative for popular programs in the linux database, or whatever it's called. Some of them even use the same suffixes so they can transfer seamlessly.

I'm running Zorin OS-9 for a couple years now. Very, very stable. The last Vista computer I had got upgraded to 7 and never ran better. I gave it to a friend, and as far as I know it's still running.

I am currently running Vista on this very desktop. Wife is running Vista on her laptop. NO problems here.
 
Hi Tim,
Your post got me interested in looking at options available besides Windows 10. I googled Zorin and looked at 9 and 10. Have you had any bugs or other problems to deal with since you started using it? Are the spreadsheets and other software programs free?

One of daughters and my wife both down loaded Windows 10. Other than quite a long download time it set up easily and connected to wireless network easily. They were on windows 8.1. My other daughter and son as well as I use Macbooks . My daughter bought my Mac in 2009 for Father's Day and I had none of the issues I had with Windows. The only thing I had to replace was the touchpad for $35 (replaced it myself) and that was 2 months ago. The Mac has held best out all the laptops I have used. But back to Windows 10 both my wife and daughter are very happy with it. definately worth the hassle of downloading it.
