I prefer my Win 7 machine. Have Win 8.1 on my 2in1 laptop. I think Win 10 is atrocious. My sister got a new laptop that was supposedly designed for Win 10 but it boots up slowly. My experience with Win 10 wasn't much better over a year ago.

Windows 10. I feel it had a few teething problems but has no issues now and feels better and faster than previous OS's.

Windows 8.1 since it's the most stable OS that works on my PC, and i've tried Windows 7, Windows 10, Lubuntu, Mint and a few more.

I use Windows 10 on my gaming desktop, work desktop, and my Surface Book.

1 Raspberry Pi 2 B uses OSMC, the other Retro Pi, and my Raspberry Pi B+ uses Raspbian (though I haven't used that in ages ._.)

On my work laptop I'm quad booting XP, Windows 10, Arch Linux, and Linux Mint. I mainly use Linux Mint for everything, but I have XP installed for legacy games that don't run on WINE or 10, 10 is for "newer" extremely lite spec games that don't like XP, and Arch is for messing around, though I haven't booted into it in ages. Pretty neat for a thing with 3GB of RAM, a 500GB HDD, and an Intel C2D T7700 (upgraded from a single core Celeron 900 :lol:).

Windows 7 at work, 10 at home. I have some linux partitions hanging out at home (ubuntu, mint, solus...and I think openSUSE), but very rarely use them anymore (my backup pc is now used for one game that runs like shit on wine, and I don't want to spend hours on attempting to teach my girlfriend to use even the most basic linux distribution).

Mac OS Mountain Lion, Windows 10, Linux Manjaro. I detest Windows, but I use it the most, due to the fact of gaming on PC kinda almost makes it a necessity. I do really like the way Linux looks and just is, but that and OSX will be non primary partitions until that fact changes.

Don't understand how people can work with linux. I have tried OpenOffice / LibreOffice and both are terrible! Also lots of programs only works on Windows
Nothing better than Microsoft Office. I have to say that other Open Source software sometimes is good, but in most cases I prefer paid software.

    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
