I like Win7 too much.

People with 8.1 get the free upgrade too.

Win 7 and Win 8.1 don't play really nice together. My wife has 8.1 and I have 7 pro.

8.1 sucks...I like 7 fine, but the lack of cooperation between the two is frustrating.

We'll stick to 7 for the present. Let 'em iron out the bugs in 10 before I touch it.
I think we changed from Vista a few years ago

Vista was an abomination.

Yep, sure was. We went back to XP from it within a month, then to 7 iirc.

I've got 8.1 and it seems to do ok for me.  I use Photoshop, Office, internet and do some gaming.  So far (about 6 months since I built this machine) everything seems really good.  Only exception I have is that sometimes it goes into a sleep or hibernate mode and won't come back out.  I just need to set it to not do that. 

Vista was just weird.  I got the same feeling from it as I did Windows ME.  It was rushed to development and it showed badly.

Agreed!

7 FTW!

My new work computer has 8.1. I thought I was going to hate it, but it is OK. It is set up to run like 7 (i.e., with a mouse).

My main complaint is the PDF viewer sucks...but I just set it to default to the full Acrobat version that I have and it works fine.

I'm going to lock this until 10 is released and then open it back up on the off chance someone tries it.

I'm not really looking for input on 7 or 8.1.

Now that Win 10 is out, and I know some have tried it, let's hear...

good or bad.

T upgraded from 8.1 and her only comment is 10 doesn't like Chrome.

Youngerheuer couldn't resist the click.

His evaluation is that W10 is to W8...  what W7 was to Vista.

Which I take as an endorsement.....  if I was running W8 (which I  ) I'd be tempted too.

But I like my W7 too much, so I'll be going nowhere near W10 anytime soon.

I like 10 better for sure.

Better than...8 or 8.1?

Do you have a touchscreen computer?

WAY better than 8. Better, but not massively, over 8.1. Basically it seems more like 7.

My home computer is 10 now, and had 8 and 8.1 previously. It's touch screen, but my 5 year old is the only one that uses it that way. I prefer the mouse.

My work computer is 8.1, and not touch screen. I like it fine as well.

I'm not a computer guy though...just a normal user.

I just bought a Dell laptop (touchscreen) with 10 last week.  It's cool so far but haven't used it much yet.  Also picked up a GoPro Hero 4 (silver) and having difficulty downloading QuickTime.  The computer isn't going for it so sound quality on the GoPro videos is really bad. 

Any clues?
