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?
