Yeah, Winboat, I might be part of that conversation you're referring to.

I haven't ruled that out yet. I am planning on trying to convince them on this next time they ask me for tech support.

If you do it would be interesting to hear if/how well they adapted to it. Might do same thing myself with my father.

    I wouldn't hold my breath. I've been trying to get them to switch for the better part of a year, and even Windows Update completely bricking my mom's computer [1] (look at my post history if you want more details on that) wasn't enough to convince them. I'm not sure what else could happen outside of Bill Gates personally leaving a flaming bag of dog manure on their porch.

    [1] I'll say it again; if anyone here works on Windows Update, please consider getting out of the software game and maybe consider a job in the exciting world of janitorial or food service, because you are exceedingly bad at the whole "software thing" and you should be ashamed of yourself and how much damage you have cost the entire world with your utterly incompetent software.
