Still Windows 7. I haven't even bothered to upgrade even after I've bought a new system.

 

No need for little gain. I'll leave the large icons and touch on my mobile devices for now.

Windows 7 for me. Smartphone/Tablet UI's will never plague my desktop.

  

I'll be using windows 7 unless MS releases a new OS that is just as good.

Why must haters insist on posting flame bait posts like this instead of just saying "Will keep using windows 7" or "don't like 8 so I'll stick with 7 for now". I don't get it.

Just posts what you use, don't flame or flame bait other OS', it's not what the thread is about, you can do that in the other threads.

As for me, Windows 8.1 until 8.2 or 9 is out.

I voted Windows 8.1 as that is what I am using right now although I am finding myself working in Debian more and more. I am not a user of the new Modern apps so a lot of the new things in Windows 8 doesn't really do anything for me although I do like the new Explorer features. I have found that simple Debian install does everything I need these days and I love how minimal I can keep things. Just my browser, media player and IDE is all I really use these days :)

It's not really a flame, since 2014 isn't here yet and never know MS might release a better OS. An if they do that in 2014, i'll be upgrading.

The bigger question is what will your main Desktop OS be for 2015?

:D Oh you. 

On topic : windows 7 for the foreseeable future as my productive/gaming machine. Elementary OS on my netbook and laptop as alternatives for work/typing/web access.

It a poll question..... people are entitled to their opinions/common sense choices. Each to their own. No need to get upset.

Desktop: Windows 8.1

Laptop: OSX 10.9

 

Ill upgrade to any new versions released depending on cost and features gained (or lost).

 

 

How do you know what will be your main OS for a year that hasnt even started yet?

 

I presume unless some mystical force comes and format's your computer then you have a pretty good idea if your going to switch to something different or not?

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free. This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
