Bill,
I don't think I'll be upgrading my current Windows 7 computer to Windows 10
in 2020. It will be 9 years old by then if it's still running. I'll just
buy a shiny new computer with Windows 10, or whatever is the latest
operating system, already installed. If I had a relatively new computer
running Windows 8 or 8.1 though, I would probably take advantage of the free
Windows 10 upgrade.

What you gain is that, in 2020, when you finally decide to upgrade,
Windows10 won't be free anymore.

Subject: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?
Hi,
I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest, and I
just have a question (with a lot of background first):
So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE. (I'm
doing that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program;
you should use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now
in Windows 7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents. (I'm
doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to indicate that
Cortana is iffy at best.
So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like to
know if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating
system that I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can
see is that Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where
Windows 7 will not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that
should cause me to want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old saying, "If
it ain't broke, don't fix it," apply here? I'd really honestly like to
know if JAWS users in particular are finding anything beneficial in the
upgrade, or if it's just something fun to do to your functioning computer
to see if it will still function.
P.S. Anybody on this list from Louisiana and thinking Cortana, as in
mall?
