Microsoft is set to pull the plug on mainstream support for Windows 7, the operating system that continues to run on more than 50% of the world's computers.

Windows 7 users across the globe will be pointed towards Microsoft's extended-support scheme from January 2015, where security fixes will be provided free of cost by the company, but hotfix updates will need to be paid for.

However, panic ye not my friends, by fortuitous coincidence and at about that very time, yer loyal and generous old doorman, will knocking out puter discs running a wonderful new operating system called Linux Ratty, which at first glance, looks remarkably similar to Linux Mint v16.

Naturally, there will be a handsome discount for Squatters drinkers, just send a personal cheque, leave the amount blank and I'll fill it in later.

Now then Smudger, can I put you down for 3 discs, just to start the ball rolling!
