As claimed the other day (found in Google News), "there simply aren't that many
new features in 7. I maintain the suspicion that the whole Windows Mojave
experiment was just a ploy by Microsoft to see if they could get away with
repackaging and renaming Vista with only a few minor improvements. No more
improvement than I would expect with each subsequent release of Ubuntu. The
difference is that Ubuntu takes six months to put out a new release, and
Microsoft takes at least two years."

Although the Buddhists will tell you that desire is the root of suffering,
my personal experience leads me to point the finger at system administration.
