Big mix.. some 8, some 7, and one dinosaur tablet with XP, plus a couple in the other/non-Windows category (a couple of Windows servers, along with a hackintosh and one or two Linux desktops but they don't get used much).  This one I'm on now is 7, voted that.

Windows 8 on my Mac Pro

Windows 7* on my Retina Macbook Pro

 

* The only reason I put Windows 7 on there was because Fraps + Windows 8 + Minecraft do not work well together.  I put Windows 7 on my laptop for recording Minecraft gameplay, but I decided to get dxtory instead and it runs fine on Windows 8.  So basically, I will eventually upgrade to Windows 8 on my laptop :)

I also have a MacBook for apple Dev that is running latest osx, and I have a older laptop with Ubunto. Android 4.3 on my Nexus 7, ios7 on the iPad Windows 8.1 RT preview on Surface, wp7 on Lumia 800 and wp8 on Lumia 1020.

Windows 7 after doing a PhD in migration from XP for many painful years after which almost all issues were solved with great difficulty and third party alternatives except for the forced auto sorting issue in Explorer. Still have XP on at least one machine with no intention of ever giving on it (some specific needs such as old games which can't be virtualized).

 

Windows 8/8.1 too for Classic Shell development and fixing lots of unbearable s**t.

I am using Windows 8 on my main gaming PC.  I got it for $40 during the promotion, and I'm assuming that in true Microsoft fashion they will be making exclusive games and software for the OS, so might as well at least keep one PC current...  My secondary PC, file server, and Windows-Based laptop are all running Windows 7 64bit however...  (And then there is my MacBook running OSX 10.8.5...)

Windows 8.1 Beta (hopefully can upgrade easily to 8.1 without having to stick 8.0 back on first!!) and RT on surface RT gen1.

You can, but'll need to reinstall all of your apps (desktop apps too).

      In that case this product has no value to me. I'd rather use older Creative SB that were better in my opinion or onboard audio chip.
