GWX redux? Microsoft to start nagging Windows 7 users about upcoming EOL.
Making the transition to Windows 10 and Office 365
After 10 years, support for Windows 7 is coming to an end on January 14, 2020, with Office 2010 following shortly thereafter. We are here to help you with recommendations for what to do next and answer questions that you may have about end of support.
End of support means that your Windows 7 or Office 2010 software will no longer receive updates, including security updates. But, there's good news – Windows 10 is the most secure Windows ever and Office 365 delivers the latest in personal productivity. Together they make a perfect pair to help you do everything you were doing before – safer, faster and easier.
To help our customers get advanced notice of this change, we are reaching out with information and resources. Beginning next month, if you are a Windows 7 customer, you can expect to see a notification appear on your Windows 7 PC. This is a courtesy reminder that you can expect to see a handful of times in 2019. By starting the reminders now, our hope is that you have time to plan and prepare for this transition. These notifications are designed to help provide information only and if you would prefer not to receive them again, you'll be able to select an option for "do not notify me again," and we will not send you any further reminders. Just as software has changed over the years, so has hardware. To learn more about the latest line-up of modern PCs and information for moving from Windows 7 to Windows 10, just click on the "learn more" button on the notification.
If you want to get started today, you can visit www.microsoft.com/windows7 to find out more.

Way older than Eden. That was, what, 6Kya? Humans have been around in roughly our present form for at least an order of magnitude longer than that. I'm sure if you study even chimps long enough you'll find some sneaky little bastards...

This is orthogonal, not in opposition to the age of Eden. I'm not very interested in meatbags'(de)evolution but I must point out that if the bible does not talk about incestuous encounters at the time of adam and eve (and the bible does not shy away from such details, as you know), so it is possible that there were already other racially compatible humans. They were not "man" and "woman", whatever that means in terms of self awareness and knowing good from evil. Of course this theory is not meant to make the bible fit with scientific theories, it's mere speculation for who considers the scriptures actually sacred.
