Still remember the first time you played Resistance: Fall of Man or Ridge Racer 7? I might well be that it was over 10 years ago on a brand new PlayStation 3. Now after over 80 million sold PS3 consoles Sony is allegedly seizing production.
Reports from Gematsu have it that Sony has decided to call it quits with PS3 after over 10 years of production. The production of the last model, ... [ read the full article ]

Ya know what other era I think will end, and one I kinda am ready for, is Microsoft!
I'd like to say good bye to Windows and start Ubuntu. Sadly game playing is an issue but Steam is fully capable so that's a step in the right NON-WINDOWS direction.
Cause Windows 10 sucks ass and come 2020, when my Win7 isn't supported, I'm gonna be at a crossroads there.

3 years is a very long time in computers. That's long enough for them to fix issues and add features, or get 3rd parties to create killer apps for existing features. It's also long enough for someone to make a script to strip windows 10 down to the bones (it really is a decent OS under all the garbage). It is also long enough for microsoft to forget a target...that is, if they look at the numbers and see 25% of computers still use Windows 7; including a lot of large businesses and governments; then they are going to have serious concerns about cutting off support.
Personally, I think the demise of Windows 7 will come either from the memory limitations that some of us have already been experiencing for years or from third parties doing things that either make Windows 10 better or make it necessary. Even then, ending support for Windows 7 is also essentially ending support for server 2008 R2...and that's a really dangerous bridge for Microsoft to cross if they want to maintain any kind of foothold in the server market.
On the Microsoft side, for my older computers I kept Windows 7 too, but I don't mind Windows 10 on my newer stuff. Still many things for them too work out though. Personally if I only had Home edition it would suck. Enterprise or Pro are best.
