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.

    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
