I used to have Windows Vista, but now I have Windows 10! :) I love it.

I also don't think anyone has Windows 9 or Windows Longhorn. These were both in between builds that used to be in Microsoft's "Legacy Builds" menu, and are now removed. Longhorn came before Vista, but after XP.

Longhorn: when you're so masochistic that you use something literally worse than Vista.

I have Windows 10 Pro on my laptop in addition to 7, XP, 2k, WS2008, and WS2012R2 (none of which are illegal copies O.O) . I did the beta since December 2014 and after I did the upgrade to the RTM it said it was activated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used a version of the Insider Preview ('cause I'm an Insider XD) that you can upgrade to from Windows Vista and then upgraded to the Official Windows 10 Pro the day before the preview build's certificate expired.

I don't know if they have already issued the update but Microsoft is or is about to start key-logging everything on Windows 10. They will send that information to Microsoft.

I use Windows 7 and Android. I saw no reason to upgrade from Windows 7 yet.

Right now I am posting from Android lollipop.
But I also have Windows XP, Windows 7 Pro, Windows 7 Starter, Windows 10 (2x), Xubuntu and Crunchbang++ (Debian based). I could also post from Raspbian, OpenWrt, Angstrôm, i2zffs and Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro.

@DJ Omnimaga, you do know that If you leave your PC on Windows 7 and automatic updates is on, It'll upgrade BY ITSELF. One guy found this out when 6GB of data disappeared on his computer and turned out to be installation data. There were even all the different Cortana animations there.

Nah, don't worry, they don't keylog in terms of actually stealing your passwords or identity, but they use it to improve Cortana. If you feel uncomfortable with that, just disable Cortana and the setting that collects the data.

This behavior has been around since the Insider Preview. It's part of telemetry and not Cortana, but the option to disable it is presented as early as Windows setup. "Keylogger" is inaccurate, it's more of a "keyword-logger".

This is why you disable automatic updates.

Personally I don't mind Windows 10. I do have one PC where I want to keep Windows 7 running so I simply uninstalled the update that downloads and installs Windows 10 and flagged it so that it doesn't ever get reinstalled. But I did upgrade my laptop and my tablet to Windows 10 and I like it.

I did attempted to install Windows 10 on my Windows 7 laptop, the installation somehow failed. Then I installed Arch Linux.

Arsch Linuks and CyanogenMod 13.0 (Android Marshmallow) here. I build the latter from source whenever I feel like it. :3
I also dual boot Windows 10 on my PC but don't tell anyone.
