Your Preferred Windows Versions

Currently using Windows 8 and the only real reason I stick with it is because I can't update to Windows 10. Not that I mind much, because my computer works just fine like this ^^ It was hard to get used to, though, and I think I still prefer Windows 7, but it's kind of whatever I guess ^^'

 

I have used Windows ever since Windows 3.1, which was many years ago. I currently use Windows XP, and even to this day I lament that it's still not quite as good as Windows 98 was - though to XP's credit, it is still rather robust. 98 had a few issues of its own, but most of them related to advancing technology. XP doesn't really have those issues.

I've used Windows 7 before, as that is the OS that my university uses. It's something I'll tolerate but not something I overtly like. 7 isn't outright bad - I'm just not fond of its GUI, that's all, but at least it fixed the many issues that Vista had.
8 is disgusting if you don't use it on a tablet (as it is designed to be a tablet OS), and 10 has decidedly mixed appraisal, though usually negative. I don't see myself going to a newer Windows OS from XP, because if it isn't broken, don't fix it. There's a possibility I may move to Windows 7 out of necessity, but that is as far as it will go.

I have never owned a Macintosh but I don't like its GUI whatsoever. I never have (my first encounter with Mac was in the late 90s, and even with subsequent recent encounters, not much has changed) and most likely never will. I have never encountered Linux, however. Whether or not I will choose to learn it is debatable, as there is little incentive for me at present to indulge in its new learning curve.

 

I use Vista, but that's because I'm not allowed to upgrade this computer. It's not like I know how to do that though, I guess I'd have to go to Windows's official website to see for myself. I guess it works just fine.
