I really won't miss Windows Media Center because I'm so computer illiterate that I've never figured out of what use it is any way. I do plan to install Windows 10 on my current hard drive, which could be a major head ache as I currently run a dual boot partitioned hard drive system with Windows 7 on one side, and Linux Mint on the other. I seldom have need to boot into Windows but wish to keep it available as an option. If something goes wrong when I try to set up Windows 10 the same way I will simply kiss Microsoft goodbye, and give all the hard drive space to the Linux OS.
I'm a computer newbie. I'm always looking for smaller, simpler, faster, lighter, operating systems. I really like the Google Chrome OS. I don't like being locked into a Google world, any more then I like the Slow Bloated MS operating systems with their endless slow to install updates. Windows 7 isn't bad, but if your on a slow ISP with an old computer a smaller simpler OS is the way to go.
It could be that I like the Chrome, and Linux operating systems so much because I'm a computer newbie and have never been fully indoctrinated into MS. Microsoft operating systems are so confusing and difficult to learn that it's hard to change once you've learned them.
I'm a bit of a paradox I have great difficulty doing some things with a computer that others find easy. While there is a learning curve I have not found learning to work with current Linux operating systems to be anywhere near as difficult learning to post a photograph regardless of operating system used.
