Your main desktop operating system for 2015 is:

Snapshot-Linux 0.6

[Avi Patel]

8.1 here, 10 soon.

[mkol]

Windows 8.1.1 now. After years of  Windows 7 Ultimate .....

[Pupik]

8.1 until 10 is released.

[Haggis Veteran]

Linux Mint

[strotee]

XP RTM

[+Asmodai MVC]

I'm using 7 until 10 is released.  I'm not doing any of the previews of 10 and I'm not sure when the final release of 10 is so I answered 7 for now in this poll.  If I bought a system with 8.x though I'd upgrade to the 10 preview because for me:

8.0 < 8.1 < 10 Preview < 7 (< 10 final?)

Windows 8.1 r5 (so far)

[typu]

windows 8.1

i really like its stability and performance

 

i dont use the start screen and the new "apps" at all. i find them akward and utterly useless. apart from that, i like the OS.

[simplezz]

Arch Linux as always

[typu]

XP RTM

I have a machine running XP too. If it aint broke as they say.

[NeoWind]

Windows 10.1

[PGHammer]

If 10 fixes the last compatibility issues, that's what I'll be running as default - otherwise, it will be 8.1 update 1 (my current default).  Except for those three games, everything runs as well as it did on 8.1 or better.

[Tal Greywolf]

Depends.  I have Windows 7 on one machine, Windows 8.1 on another machine, and Linux Mint on a netbook.  Not impressed yet with Windows 10, unless something earth-shaking comes out I'm probably not going to move to it.

sure i get that. but still, xp lacking new patches and stuff. why not using win7? 

[techbeck]

Windows 7 for now.  All depends on how 10 turns out to be.

[devHead]

I'm running Windows 10 (TP) right now, and I plan to install the Consumer Preview when it arrives toward the end of this month, and eventually the final.  I'm planning on getting some new hardware before the final version is installed.

I don't (Win 7, represent), it was a joke. Figured the RTM would give it away.

[internet.security]

There's 1 vote for xp   and 1 for vista   .... u must b bill gates

[Jose_49]

Starting and ending it with Windows 10. So far everything is running smooth without compatibility problems. B. 9901. 

[firey]

Just upgraded PC, really liking this OS, feels very smooth.

You can still get patches. Not that it matters much any more as most malware and other nasties are targeting Windows Vista/7/8 these days. XP is actually a lot safer than the newer versions.

Windows server FTW!
