   There may be some 'information' I have had here relative to the future of the   
   windows world that has been divulged to me in tracing some very bad malware   
   issues with the professional folks I work with on virus and malware protection   
   development.   
      
   Buried deeply under what folks get to see, the Windows crew are automatically   
   making the complete modification of everything above Windows XP whatever to   
   Windows 10 hidden under anything you folks see starting with January of 2016.   
   You may think you are still working with version 7 or 8 or whatever.  But you   
   are not.  The huge AUTOMATC discovery that your whole system has been,shall we   
   suggest as hijacked isn't complete yet, but the total transmission to   
   'complete' Windows whatever control is currently said to be going on now.   
      
   I have no proof this is true or not.  It may not be,  But if what is pointed   
   toward as complete control of computer operations for all the world by whoever   
   wins this stuff seems realistic to me from many comments here.   
      
   Who knows?
