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?

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
