You seem to have made a number of presumptions in your somewhat dismissive and supremacist style response, and perhaps you did not actually read my comments.
Firstly I stated the “easy upgrading within the series”, and you do not need to restate it as if I did not know.
Secondly you are assuming the upgrade I was taking about should be in-place, which may well be infeasible. The upgrade may well involve completely reformatting the system drive, but what I clearly stated was that the upgrade process could involve the storing and restoring of the user data and configurations., on an external USB hard drive.
This could be part of the managed series upgrade process, thus minimizing human errors. It would also have the advantage of ensuring all the correct data and configurations were stored and restored. And if it is done in an appropriate way, could be used manually in a fallback situation.
One hopes that such possibilities are being considered, and that there are not any premadona developers involved that would prematurely dismis such ideas.
With regard to Microsoft, who you seem to have a distinct disdain for, you may or may not have noticed I mentioned the end of extended support for Windows 7 as being January 14, 2020.
You should also be aware of the Microsoft Windows 10 strategy, which they have called ‘Windows as a Service’ (WaaS), which rather than producing new Windows versions, will involve continuous updates of the Windows 10 system, which could and almost certainly will result in the system looking and performing differently over the course of time. Which IMHO is a major strategic error on a number of counts.
Firstly, in order to continue financing the operation, it is more than likely that Microsoft Windows 10 will change to a subscription service. This will turn off many consumer users, who are trying to reduce their recurring costs.
Secondly, it is estimated that around 70% of the worlds companies are now using Windows 7 and will not just be very reluctant to upgrade to Windows 10, but upgrade with the addition of extra recurring cost.
Thirdly, since the updates will be continuous there will be a problem of managing compatibility with existing hardware, which will either suddenly stop receiving updates due to unsupported features, incompatibility etc. or the system will just no longer work.
All of this will mean as I said “there will be a large wave of users unhappy with the prospect of Windows 10, and looking for a stable, future proof alternative, during 2019”.

I know you believe you understand what you think I said. But I'm not sure you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.
