Win 7 for me
Me too. XP was very good for its time, but its time has faded. When I go back to it now it's still quite usable, but obviously dated.
Win7 is mature. It just works. OTOH, Microsoft is pulling the plug on Win7 updates in Jan 2020, less than 2 years from now.
Win10 is a rowdy youngster, full of p*ss and vinegar, and hasn't yet figured out what it wants to be when it grows up.
I think Win10 will be fine for a lot of consumer-grade customers, the ones who would actually do just fine with a Chromebook but they think they need Windows (they don't). Business customers generally find Win10 annoying and restrictive, but they'll be forced into it eventually. System administrators (like me) generally find Win10 a royal PITA, and often switch to Linux with a Win7 VM for Windows-only tasks.
