Delta Sierra@endrift Forced to use 11 for work.
Why yes, I do have high blood pressure!
Kevin Karhan 
@notthatdelta @endrift M8, you should get hazard pay just for that alone…
Utarg of Utarg 🔬🇪🇺🇸🇪🇬🇧🇺🇦@endrift W11. My place of work requires it but it’s not a massive part of my job. Feels no different from W10.

:kura_explode:@endrift If you include work, its windows 11. i don't like it. i don't own any windows at home. except dotnet, I don't use any windows product.
Luck Goddess 🌒🌕🌘 (They/She)@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)…
@kkarhan psst the point of this poll was to try to figure out how many people still used unsupported versions of windows and which ones
@endrift I know...
- In fact until 3 years ago some banks still mandated #IE6 support for internal tools, meaning they were still using #WindowsXP.
@kkarhan screaming
@endrift and that's just the stuff in terms of #OSINT that I was able to divulge outside of NDAs.
- It's even worse with #MedicalIT!
Skibidi Suurone@endrift 11 forced by employer
Marc Rothera@endrift 11 at work, WINE at home.
Jupiter Sigh@endrift As many others have said, same here. 11 - forced to at work.
MisWiredKE@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.
@MisWiredKE for the last year of 10's support cycle I moved more and more of my desktop stuff off of Windows. It's easier for me than the average Windows user, since I've been using Linux for uh...over 20 years...but still, I'm glad I did it. I needed Windows still less than I thought, and I refuse to install 11. I've used it in other places and I cannot stand it one bit. 10 isn't the greatest but it's...fine? It works I guess, and I'm not constantly fumbling to find where they hid the menu or how to disable copilot on notepad.
@endrift that makes sense. I'm actually using Linux right now, and have been using it on and off since university (so 10+ years). And unless I need to absolutely run Windows, I don't really use it as much now. It's more of it was already installed on another hard drive and just keep it just in case.
Riven Skaye@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
Thomas Fuglseth@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.
forbidden_expressions.c@endrift does Windows 98 count, it's really fun okay I keep it offline

Please add debloated version as well. Else the metrics becomes skewed. 🙂

Chris Allegretta@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.

Yoh Deadfall@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.
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@endrift mix of 10 and 11.

tschigi@endrift @wurzelmann W11 - forced upon by work 🤓
