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.

    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      By Taliseian · Posted

      There is a long thread (128pgs and counting) that I've been following over at ElevenForums that has a method for updating Secure Boot even if there is no BIOS upgrade. I've used this method and had zero issues. NOTE:  I do not take any responsibility if this or any other Secure Boot method bricks your system -- YMMV!  Read carefully before using!
