It seems you just get real comfortable with the latest OS like a warm pair of slippers and than away they go with a new one. I hear this one is more mobile based which means zero to me now I am retired and less likely to run around with a cell phone on. Perhaps eventually will work on a tablet that would be great.

And a lot of folks may have to be buying a touchscreen monitor to get the full effect of the next OS. Starting my savings for it now.
