It's about to be #patchtuesday but this one is bittersweet. This month will be my last patching my own personal #windows installations. With the upcoming end to #windows10 support, I'm migrating to #linux .
This month marks the end of my continuous personal Windows use dating back to #windows3 in 1990, 35 years ago. I went to work at #microsoft just as #windowsforworkgroups 3.11 went into beta in 1993. Through a very random set of circumstances, I gave the first press demo of #windows95, to the tech reporter for the #houstonchronicle . Years later, I managed a wonderful team for #windows7 security assurance, and I couldn't be prouder of what we accomplished.
My relationship with Windows runs deep, to say the least. But the time has come for that relationship to end. I will migrate my main computer in about a week.
