Hello Maurice!

I haven't been following Kreb's reports religiously.  But this  
last comment of his is a pre-cursor to MS's announcement to  
drop Win10 security updates.

I think Kreb's point is to mention the linux alternative that  
would work best for Windows-users on most Win10-equipped  
machines out there now, not older 386s.

If I wasn't tied to the neccessity of needing MS Access in my  
work, I'd be using linux 13 yrs ago on my modest PC equipment!
