Maybe a new poll every time Windows releases new version would be more accurate with the answers?

 

Yeah, maybe once a year or something would be more useful info.  Will it let you edit the first post to make a new poll?

 

I think you would just have to start a new poll and make sure name is slightly different than this polls topic.

The question seems to still be as relevant as it was back in 2013 when Toxie first posted it.

 

The question may be relevant, but the answers aren't.  If we started a fresh poll on this today and still found about 10% of the people responding are still using Windows XP, there is certainly a problem there.   :D

 

A poll started in 2013 is totally irrelevant.

 

Which is why I said...

I think when I first did this poll, I was running Windows XP, but not certain.

I have a feeling, most who took this poll years ago, have upgraded to newer windows since then.

The question remains relevant even if it was started 10 years ago, and it will still be relevant 20 years from now in the future.

Maybe a new poll every time Windows releases new version would be more accurate with the answers?

 

Nope. I ran 7 in 2009 when I built this pc, and it still runs 7 today.

100%. :dblthumb:


You know where I'm at and it isn't here. I'm not appreciated here (nor are my table releases) so I have no respect for a small group of folks here and they KNOW who they are and I KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

 

I've been treated with nothing but disdain and disrespect (EXTORTION, DOXXING, harassment, threats and blackmail) here at VPF so you can find me at Pinball Nirvana.

 

KNOW THE TRUTH BEFORE you CONDEMN SOMEONE.

 

They KNOW who they are and use a particular chatroom to talk BS about others behind their back (I know about this too and WHO EACH OF THEM are.)

Windows XP is a bloated POS.  just use Win 2K Pro it has DX 9.0c.

 

If you are using Win 10 you can try 'Winaero Tweaker' which helps to disable all the crap.
