I'm still kicking myself for not going to Mac when I bought a computer late last year.

Just had to save a few bucks didn't ya Matt? ;)

All the computers we get for work are downgraded to Win7 Pro. Home is all 7 as well except a couple old ones on XP.

I love 8.1

I run Start 8, which is very similar. If your new OS is so bad that people are buying software to make it look and operate like the prior OS, that is the definition of an epic fail.

That is what I use on my home computer.
Most of the time I can't tell it's windoze 8.

Win10 is still a pre-release version, right?

Months ago I used some of the very first builds of Win10. The only instability I found was the constant updates. ...seemed like every few hours. Otherwise, Win10 appeared to be what Win 8 should have been from the get-go. :-/

Oh, and I expect that Win 10 will kill Classic Shell (which I also use/endorse )

I hope someone included a WinXP install DVD in a time capsule, which will someday save the people of the future.

Now that right there is funny. One small clarification though...XP was the last MS OS to fit on a CD (XP SP3 is just over 600 MB.)
