All of my machines have been upgraded to Windows 8 or 8.1 (RT on my Surface).  My work laptop is still Windows 7, which we just rolled out in the last few months, so it'll be that way for quite a while based on how my company moves.

Currently running 8 and waiting for the official release of 8.1 prior to update.

Same here

Hopefully there will be an option to do a clean install once I upgrade via the store. I upgraded to Win 8 from Win 7 with the Pro Pack Upgrade l got from Staples last year. (only $40, couldn't pass that up).

Windows 7 today, trying Windows 8.1 next week.

 

Also, Windows for Workgroups on my 386.

 

Wait... though you of all people would be on Windows 8 right now.

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

Again... be specific what unbearable stuff?

Running Windows 8 on everything and OSX on my MBP. I was running 8.1 preview, but I found it to be a little too buggy for me. The biggest problem was that it would randomly lock up a little too often and Norton 360 was not compatible and I don't really trust Windows Defender to that level.

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By bikeman25 · Posted

      Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again

      To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
