Congratulations to everyone who voted Vista and earlier for falling into my honeypot of "I'm ignoring your response for what I'm doing with this data". I hope someday you recover from this self-inflicted pain.

@endrift Forced to use 11 for work. Why yes, I do have high blood pressure!

@endrift W11. My place of work requires it but it’s not a massive part of my job. Feels no different from W10.

@endrift as with many others, my answer is also „windows 11 for work because I have to“ 😅

@endrift Last Windows I touched was #Windows7. Best Windows was #WindowsXP. Nowadays I'd choose death over #Windows11 (or #Windows10)…

@endrift so my laptops can't run Windows 11. And from what I've been seeing, it seems like that's a good thing. Windows 10 does have it's issues though, and for me the biggest issue has always been lagging.

@endrift Both 10 and 11 for me, cast 10 on the poll because most hours are currently spent on that (job) and I only use 11 on my lappy because it came locked in. That said, I'm cutting out w11 time where possible, preferring my old and trusty non-Windows systems instead

@Uglesett@snabelen.no 2026-03-23 12:45

@endrift Voted 10 in the poll, since the one I _choose_ to use (on my gaming PC at home) is still Windows 10. I also use Windows 11 at work. For my own use, weighing the risks related to no more security updates to Windows 10 against the clusterfuck that is Windows 11 development, I've so far landed on sticking with 10.

@endrift hmm no option for Windows Server? I updated a host from 2012R2 to 2022 last week, shocking it went without issues (though I had to temporarily upgrade to 2019 to do it). It's almost a tolerable operating system if you can just accept Microsoft's completely brain damaged command syntax instead of Linux's less brain damaged command syntax. Further, I have thus far I've not seen any AI garbage or other CoPilot/Xbox/etc bloatware, for better or worse. I think at this point I'd much rather buy a grey market Windows Server 2022 key from eBay and run that, than have to run Win11 or even 10. It's worth it just for easy set up of local accounts and skipping that atrocious OOBE process.

@endrift, XP as it has some old software to open dimensional drawing in some legacy format. But as FreeCAD seems to have an extension I knew nothing about, I suppose there will be no Windows even as a VM in my life.
