[QUOTE="rollestonpark, post: 6074456, member: 76444"] its really up to you, but I refuse to pay for any software these days (unless it's a special business type) because there is so many open source alternatives. For example: microsoft office (free) alternatives: Google docs, sheets etc If you prefer an installed application, then Libreoffice. Windows 10, wow what a joke for an operating system. Linux Mint all the way, used on the farm for a number of years now (since win xp got binned by ms), great OS. Obviously linux won't work for you if you have special windows only applications, but otherwise it's the way to go. Also I believe AMD CPUs are immune to spectre meltdown attacks. All intel's are susceptible even the new ones. Chris [/QUOTE]
