What operating system do you use?

[ArisVer]

Windows 7 with Mint, Vista and W8 on a VM.

 

[gmaster456]

Windows 7 Pro at home on my laptop and desktops. 8.1 on one of my laptops as well.

Windows 7 enterprise at one of my Jobs.

and....

Windows XP Pro at another one. Not by choice.

 

[Zaap]

OSX on my laptops, and my self-built work machines.

Also Windows 7 x64 on multiple PCs. (HTPC, work machines, kitchen PC, NAS/media server)

Currently trying Windows 8.1 on my signature PC on its own SSD. With a SMR and no Metro garbage in sight, it's not bad, but has some issues I'm not crazy about. (keeps forgetting its own network card after sleep until restarted, and occasionally some full-screen garbage rears its fulgy head.)

Have you tried disabling any power saving options for your network card? That may help...

Does this happen under Windows 7? An Asrock board we use at work does this and we run Windows 7 on all our machines here.

Win 8.1 with Start8 button ($5). Same look as Win7 but much more efficient and snappy.

 

[Ranulf]

Win7 home or pro on my main desktops and laptops, Win8.1 laptop, OSX, XP on a couple of old systems, Mint 16 on a usb drive sometimes, and LXLE dual booting with XP on an old laptop.

 

[Skott]

3 Home gaming PCs = W7
1 laptop pc =W8

I dont care for W8. Wont get W8/8.1 again. Staying with W7 until W9 comes out. Maybe switch/upgrade to W9 if its any good. Seems like every other MS Windows version that comes out is bad. W9 should be the next good version if the pattern continues.

 

[CRCSUX]

Main comp :8.1 pro with mint in VM
Other comp :Win 7 but will upgrade it to 8.1 asap as win 7 get annoying after using 8.1.

Nope, I haven't. Admittedly, I haven't really started to troubleshoot it yet. I'll try your suggestion.

And zokudu: no, Windows 7 x64 on the same machine (sig system) has no issues.

Otherwise, I have to say Win 8.1 isn't bad. Once I figure out what the network card problem is I'll probably get rid of 7 and move over to 8.1 for good.

 

[Mem]

Win8.1 Pro x64 on my gaming PC and laptop.

Linux Mint 32 bit on second desktop PC.

Linux Ubuntu 64 bit on third desktop PC.

Android on my tablet and smartphone.


All working great with no issues .

 

[Bradtech519]

8.1 Pro, and OpenSUSE

 

[BonzaiDuck]

Hmm . . . as discussion about this issue continue, the clock keeps on ticking . . . New hardware, new software . . . . my wallet bleeds . . .

I used to jump on every new Windows version as soon as they appeared. Win 3.0, then 3.1, then 3.11. Win 95, then Win 98. I think I had Win NT 3.5 Server on a machine, upgraded to 4. Then -- Win 2000. I waited three years to change to XP. Later, one machine got VISTA-64.

We finally upgraded everything to Win 7 SP1 64-bit in 2011, and one machine has WHS-2011. Everything works together, and I can't afford the time and trouble to deal with . . . incongruity.

The Win 8.1 licenses and a server-replacement choice will be budgeted for next year or beyond. I could care less if Win 9 is already on the street by then.

When I think of what I've spent since 1982 on this technology -- hardware and software -- and what component of it that I didn't need to spend . . .

Well . . . . I could've paid for the camper-trailer I wanted.

We're all LEMMINGS!

Pro tip... The Rainy Day theme is the best theme; fact. I also love the startup sound for 2kpro. I actually look forward to booting my 2kpro vm :^)

 

[Red Squirrel]

Windows 2000 was the best. Too bad nothing works in it now. I only went to XP once stuff started to not work in 2000.

Currently running Kubuntu.

 

[Mixolydian]

Irix 6.3

 

[MongGrel]

8.1 and 7 and one on Vista 64 still.

Creaky, eh? GET OFF MY LAWN!
