If you use Windows regularly, what version do you use? Please boost for sample size.

Last Windows I touched was #Windows7.
Best Windows was #WindowsXP.
Nowadays I'd choose death over #Windows11 (or #Windows10)…

endrift@treehouse.systems@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.

@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.

endrift@treehouse.systems@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 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!

endrift@treehouse.systems@kkarhan I remember seeing DOS-looking TUIs in hospitals in the mid 00s.

endrift@treehouse.systems@Jhynjhiruu I had to restrain myself from wording this as "If you still use Windows regularly"

endrift@treehouse.systemsCongratulations to everyone who voted Vista and earlier for falling into my honeypot of "I'm ignoring your response for what I'm doing with this data". I hope someday you recover from this self-inflicted pain.

@endrift Vista is overhated tbh. Much beloved 7 is actually just a barely reskinned Vista...

endrift@treehouse.systems@fincs I agree, but this data is being used to gauge whether or not I can drop Windows 7/8.1 support in mGBA or not without stranding an appreciable number of users on an older version. I dropped Vista support ages ago, and never had XP support.

endrift@treehouse.systems@fincs the wide boosting was intentional to try and reduce the skew of only fediverse nerds following me to try to get a more general slice, but that's still probably not gonna be the greatest data
