The question is simple: What is the Neowin community's default Windows version at home and at work?

For me, it is Windows 11 at home, and Windows 10 at home. 

Note: In order to keep the poll simple, I went with only the major versions of Microsoft Windows.

Windows 11 at home, I thought I should get some hands on time with it before eventually deploying it at work.

Most of our client computes at work don't support Windows 11, so Windows 10 currently.

I have Win11 Pro "canary" build at home, as I love to play around.  At work, I believe we finally updated from Win7 to win 10.  Of course, it has the start menu program on that makes it look like Win 7, as the owner still doesn't know how to use computers very well.

I have 6 computers running Windows 11 (including all my main computers)
I have 7 (I know I probably forgot some) computers running Windows 10 and 1 running Windows 7. (Located on a segregated network)

Why do you have 14 computers? you only have 10 fingers, unless you're using your toes as well!

 

Work is Windows 11, personal still on Windows 10 as its too old for W11.

Only got two Windows boxes left, both running LTSC 2021 as a "stationary target" with no feature update breakage. Threw on a few tweaks/addons (WSL, WSA with Google, store, Terminal, etc.), one is for gaming and one is for development via VS2022.  That said, I'll probably switch the gaming one to 11 in the reasonably near future, with the usual selection of addons (which are more or less the same for 10 anyway), it just has more to offer and looks better in the process. I do actually like it better, just not wanting to do the whole reinstall hassle since there's currently no upgrade path for this version... get to it sooner or later.

All the other machines are running KDE Plasma but that's a different poll. 

Windows 10 1803 because Microsoft doesn't care to fix a critical multi-monitor bug that closes the WRONG window vs the X button we clicked when maximized in a multi-mon high DPI scenario.

If you want a break down what each one is. After looking at my own list, I noticed I forgot to count one in the post above.

    • Ashes of the Singularity II announced promising even larger battles, new faction, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A sequel for the 2016-released Ashes of the Singularity has officially been confirmed, and the original developer and publisher duo, Oxide Games and Stardock Entertainment, are back for this release too. Check out the debut trailer above. Ashes of the Singularity II is under development with a significantly expanded team compared to the original, according to today's announcement. It will be adding in a range of fresh units and gameplay systems for real-time strategy fans to dive into. More options for strategic gameplay, more intricate base building, and better enemy AI are listed as features for the new game as well. "Ten years ago, we set a new, literal benchmark for RTS games with massive battles and groundbreaking technology," said Brad Wardell, CEO of Stardock Entertainment. "With Ashes of the Singularity II, we’re raising the bar even higher, delivering strategic gameplay depth that RTS fans have always dreamed of.” The storyline of Ashes of the Singularity II will take place in 2031, with a complete single-player campaign, as well as cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, being confirmed as features today. Moreover, a third faction is joining the fray this time, with Humans joining the fight alongside the original games' Post-Human Coalition and the Substrate. "Obviously, in the first game, the number one request was to have a human faction," adds Wardell. “Back then, we just couldn’t support having thousands of organic, walking, squishy people in the world and thus had to design in favor of machines. We’re really excited to bring the humans into the war and watch how they fare against the massive mechanical armies of the Substrate and PHC.” Ashes of the Singularity II is targeting a broad 2026 release window, with the team hoping to launch the title as the original celebrates its 10th anniversary. Its Steam store page is already up for wishlisting over here. Disclaimer: Neowin's relationship to Stardock
    • How exactly is a FREE image generation model a... Ponzi scheme?!?! I don't love all of these Gen-AI things flooding the market but there's nothing "ponzi" about it.
    • I can't decide if this is tacky or a really fun move for more casual players like myself to enjoy. I'll be curious to see how we are to fly to fictional land masses on a real globe.
