but still Xp its winning this poll

It's also the oldest of the options, which means it has had longer to gain popularity. Not to mention, a lot of people don't bother upgrading (a trend I've noticed on SimV - If people are happy with their rigs, they typically stay there. Only a select few are about getting the latest and greatest)

From what I've been reading, Windows 8 is already in beta testing. Aero, rumour has it that 8 is to use 64 bit and possibly 128 bit, and Aero Light addresses 32 bit. (Rumour of course)

I'm using Win7 x64 on all my computers here. It's generally fast, it's good-looking, and overall it's not a bother.

I switched my second laptop over to 7 this week also, because I've found that XP has no native support for WPA2 Wi-fi encryption... It wouldn't connect to the net over at my GF's place... So I upped it to 7.

The worst thing about 7 to me, is that MS decided to scrap the very entertaining Space Cader Pinball Game by Maxis for that god-awful Purble Place thing.

I agree. Pinball never gets old!

I used to run Windows7.....had a PC catastrophy.........the manufacturer wanted to charge me 145 bucks to restore my operating system.......even though the PC was still under warranty......no more Windows 7 for me.....back to Vista........keep those disks around

It is probably a combination of many factors, but it seems like I've had fewer problems with Vista than I did with 7 as far as FSX goes

That's not surprising. FSX isn't really compatible with Windows 7.

Yes right even I haven't think like that, I am also using Windows XP only!!! In windows 7, I felt there is too much problem in compatibility.Because most of the software's like TC are not working on it!! May be Xp is old but i think it is the best!!
