You won't get any arguments from me over that.
I don't need cutting edge just a stable system. I have M$ update notify 
me then pick want I want to install. Generally a few days or a week 
after it comes out. Let someone else beta test the updates, I say.

The only exposure I've had to Stream is playing Elite. Since they 
released it on Stream the forums are full of people showing their 
ignorance and demanding this that and the other.
I wonder how Blender will cope with Steamers and the learning curve.
Heigh Ho!
