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?

 

What if Windows 8.2 comes out in April or March or something? That isn't on the list. If we switch to it and used it for the rest of the year it wouldn't me our main OS. 

A couple of months ago I was positive I'd never leave Windows 7 but after my new rig came with 8.1 I must say I love it now!

 

Am also planning on trying OSX on my PC but it's on hold for a while - I've tried to install it so many times and failed that I've given up for a while LOL!

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

The question was what, not why. They where answering a question that wasn't asked and in a very flame bait way, at least one of them was a rather obvious bait.

Windows 8.1 enterprise. Specifically a customised image "MainClient" 20gb wim that expands to 60gb upon install. Upon booting it has all my software installed, Customised start screen layout and servile local group policy settings enabled.

Windows 8.1 for me... or 8.2 if it comes out next year.

 

Curious why there's still 8.0 on the list though? Why wouldn't somebody put the 8.1 update on their machine if they had 8.0 already?

    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
