The PC the laptop and the Surface are all on Windows 10 Pro. I sometimes long for Windows 7 back again, but there are some Windows 10 things that I would miss too much. I rather like the fact that new files downloaded come straight up, you don't have to go looking for them. Hate the fact that you have to go searching for the close button etc.
Ubuntu, Win7 and even some Win98 systems.
Why not W10? I refuse to cede control over what's installed, and when, to MS .... among other things.
Why Win 98 still? Depending on which machine, legacy hardware or legacy software and, of course, it's old hardware that would struggle with W7. So the old adage holds - if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Mostly Win10, but I have a couple of machines running 7 and 8.1, and one running Linux.
Nearly all Win 10 here with the gaming pc connected via projector etc. still on Win 7 for the front display which fails to work under Win 10 properly. Win 10 just tends to work fine...
Old puter - still good enuff till I save some pennies!
It removes media center as part of the install, there is hacks/workarounds but they just aren't stable and often get broken by windows updates.Originally Posted by 3dcandy
If you do a Win 7 update to 10 you keep media centre
Win 10 Pro, Win 10 Pro and ,oh, Win 10 Pro
Mostly Win 10 but very few times macOS.
I mostly run Manjaro XFCE on my laptop and desktop for work, ween browsing and day-to-day stuff. I also have Win10 LTSB2016 which I use for gaming (when I got the time) and to run some Windows-only programs.
Win7 for my important machines.
I've got a Win10 box that I keep around so I can keep up with how it's evolving, although I have little hope it will ever be an adequate replacement for Win7.
I've got boxes running WinXP and Win98 for legacy games/hardware that won't behave on newer OSes, although they're not connected to the internet
Work - Win 10 Enterprise - I have to
Home - Win 10 Pro on my desktop. Used for .net core dev and some light gaming. Would not go back to win 7. 10 seems a natural successor and works without any issue, no matter the updates that failed, deleted files (none of those happened to me ... yet).
Home - Centos 7 on my laptop - is much lighter on resource utilization than Windows, works fast, can do my dev work on it wihout any issue, but use it also for browsing the net, whatching movies, my 2 year old daughter loves to punch the buttons allot when watching some youtube cartoons.
Don't think there is anymore something you can't do in linux that you can't in windows. I still prefer windows because of not needing the terminal every 20-30 minutes to do something elevated
Windows 7 Pro,Windows 10 Home.
On one computer
Kubuntu 19.04 / Windows 10 Home
I use Windows a lot less since I figured out how to run Star Citizen on Kubuntu.
Fedora 29.
Apart from when I am playing a game on the Oculus Rift, in which case Windows 10.
At work I use Fedora as well on a desktop and a laptop, but then our products at work use an embedded Linux and the servers run Centos so it makes sense. I moved my work laptop Wndows 10 Pro licence into a VM just in case, but I never use it.
Windows 10 Pro fro gaming
OpenSuse Tumbleweed for everything else
Win 10 pro (X64) for home machines (Plex server, various laptops and main gaming rig)
Win 7 pro 64 bit for my Work laptop
Win 7 home for Wife's laptop. it refused to install Win 10 on an update and has been stuck on it since...
Have a dual boot of Win 10 and Ubuntu 18.04
I suspect my next build will be windows only.
