I know sh*ts bad right now with all that starving bullsh*t and the dust storms and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings.

Mainly windows 7 here, but the spare lappy has XP, and the desktop is also booting XP64 to play old games.

They were discussing upgrading some of the computers that the instruments run on in the labs, at least Win7 has slightly better backwards compatibility than vista.

I dont think Ive encountered a single application I couldnt run in W7, other than one made in 1997 that has to be run in a XP virtual machine in win 95 compatibility mode :|

Windows 7 here, and the only reason I would consider something older such as XP put on a spare rig would be for retro gaming.

Use XP on desktop as autodata not working properly on 7. Laptop is 7 as I have everything working now, for everything else theres vmware workstation (Except autodata as it wont work in a VM)

XP still basically bullet proof so using that on the desktop

Windows 7 starter on the netbook

XP on the work lappy.

XP > Ubuntu now 10.04 LTS yeah there is a 10.10 but I see no need for it yet.

Im on Windows 7 because I have a Core i7 8GB workstation. However, I still run various XP virtual machines for work purposes.
