content: Great if all you want to do is use libre office or browse the web. Once you get into more specialised tasks just one missing app and you're unable to move across. No Adobe after effects, Photoshop, 3ds Max etc. Things are getting better though but just saying 'use linux' isn't a solution sadly.  If consumers pressured MS to release a 10 Pro Enterprise it'd be a step in the right direction.  Pay more, get no spyware. I just paid £120 for a retail OEM of 7 pro so I can do work (that needs 7) on my new computer. 7 is still entirely relevant and needs to be supported by its users rather than abandoned imo.
