What version of Windows are you running?

pctech · May 31, 2010, 11:37:19

Just wondered about how many different versions of Windows are still in use.

Rik · May 31, 2010, 11:39:36

XP on all machines. You might want to modify the poll, Mitch, as some people will have a range of OS.

pctech · May 31, 2010, 11:41:26

cavillas · May 31, 2010, 20:48:09

I told you NOT to mention 1

pctech · May 31, 2010, 21:08:27

Double

I have one Windows XP desktop, and a hardly used Vista laptop. Oh, and a silly little Eee PC with Ubuntu on it. I've got a copy of Win7 still sealed in it's box, but I''ll wait until I get a new desktop to put that on.

Same here. My trouble is, I've not got room for it all.

Glenn · Jun 01, 2010, 15:44:03

No one running OS/2 then?

Rik · Jun 01, 2010, 15:45:13

Were there ever people running OS/2?

pctech · Jun 01, 2010, 16:12:21

Glad to see there's only one person so far running Win 9x

Rik · Jun 01, 2010, 16:29:09

Or, at least, admitting to it.

I once bought a P60 computer from Escom that came with Win95 and OS2/Warp pre-installed.

I can't remember the details of how, but it was possible to accidently get both OSs to try and start at once.

Then the machine had to go back to the store to have a new image written on the hard drive.

Rik · Jun 01, 2010, 16:58:15

Now that's what I call stupid.

vitriol · Jun 01, 2010, 17:04:05

Laptop is Vista dual booted with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

and my desktop computer is Windows XP Media Centre Edition.

pctech · Jun 01, 2010, 18:17:00
