Wot no Unix
Then what Windows 98 and Windows 95 are doing there!? You clearly are a Windows enthusiast.
If every O S was listed the Poll Page would be 5 pages long :)

Oh i got win 95 ( 3.1.1 upgrade to win 95 on an old working lappy + Xp on another)
Most of my systems have more than one bootable hard drive with alternate O S installed
 
Only Win7 for a host. Have almost every windows from 3 to 10 in vms. I don't find 8-10 to be host worthy, at least yet. I ran XP64 until Win7 as I couldn't stomach Vista.
 
8.1 on my current rig. Will update to 10 when I am able tomorrow.

7 was good, but 8.1 has been better for me. Less nagging when playing games (no "your aero settings have changed..." when I play games).
 
My computer - Windows 7 Home Premium
Daughter's computer - Vista Home Premium

I may move up to Windows 10 with the free upgrade should DX12 actually be a big thing since I just got my 980Ti.
 
Regular Windows 8.1 on both desktops and 2 laptops. Windows 10 Technical Preview on server/guinea pig C2Q computer. I have to agree with slizzo, 8.1 is a lot kinder to me during gaming, especially in some older games or crappier free MMOs that would trigger the Aero Basic scheme in Windows 7. I feel that Yosemite on my MB 2015 bests all of the above when it comes to general usability, though. OS X is alot more enjoyable with an SSD.
 
Believe it or not back in the days before Microsoft and Windows became popular I had a computer called a Macintosh Classic 2 and even before that I had a apple 2c.
 
If anyone is using anything older than 7 on their main system on this site I would be amazed.
 
My main system was actually a 2008 Windows Vista computer before I bought my HP Envy in 2014 for Christmas.
 
- Linux Mint on my workstation, pc and laptop
- Windows 7 Ultimate on my pc
- Windows XP SP2 on my laptop

The Win 10 Tech/Insider Preview has two main advantages for me. One, runs on practically anything and is pretty snappy. Two, the price.

Has anyone here ever used Chrome OS I heard it was some kind of operating system that Google is making or has made. :)

Chrome OS is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed by Google to work with web applications and installed applications.

I think you won't be interested.

LOL!

It's what was on "Chromebooks." It's Gentoo-based, relatively light on resources, and the newer versions support android-based software as well. It's still active.
