For the Windows Ping List... Windows usage PING!

Some interesting statistics on Windows usage.

Still the most popular operating system in the world -- but it's Windows 7, not 8.x, that's winning.

I wouldn’t trade Win7 for anything. I had Win8&8.1 & all that . Win8&8.1 seemed to me a clumsy attempt to make you home pc/laptop into a cell phone & vice versa. It just didn’t work- & there were too many assumptions by the program writers imho. It was , as I experienced 8&8.1 that you were expected to know where to go (from a laptop)and you knew where “the stuff” (as I call it) was & they hit sh*te instead of making it plainly accessible. I mean, what is so outdated about Win7 anyway? It was all very amateurish on their part to completely abandon the designer/writer of Win7& it’s versions who were so beautifully written\

Note-regarding XP is the stuff that ATM’s run on & in the “finance” industry I’ve heard not very many companies have upgraded..

That Win7 & it’s version is awesomely clear . If Win7,etc goes out the proverbial window I’m screwed

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it?

I like Windows 7.

The theme packs are kool. And it can do everything that WinXP does, without too much new stuff (like asking if a program should run as administrator, that kind of thing).

I have an Optiplex GX520, and see no reason at all to go to Win 8 or 10.

After loudly cursing MS and the GD Win8 after the wife bitched about some damn thin on her laptop.........

Cannot imagine trying apple (you are not allowed to alter that setting) OS stuff ever again, at least for a wife that cannot remember a thing I try and teach her, it might not be a bad idea.

There is indeed a place for an OS for the technically hopeless......
