I used to use Windows 7 before I moved to my bro's computer which has Windows 10.
Windows 7 was always my favorite.
I am using Windows 10 since one week ago and so far I am really satisfied with it and I start to think it will end up being my actual favorite.
Mac OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.4.
Ironically I used a Windows Vista computer for like five - six years and honestly it wasn't that bad.

I'm using Windows 7. My father suggests I upgrade to Windows 10, though. Maybe soon.
Vista.
Fight me.
Fight me.
I got a Vista desktop and a linux laptop.
I use OSX and Windows 10.
W8.1 and awaiting the update.
Currently, I am using Windows 8.1 . Quite satisfied with it and am not sure if I wanna upgrade to Windows 10 just yet.
I just upgraded to Windows 10. I really like the new start menu and web browser, they all look and work great. Everything looks very professional.
...but there also some things that I really don't like. The taskbar icons are too small, Cortana takes up too much of the screen, and everything looks super flashy which sometimes diminishes readability.
My favorite is Windows XP to be honest. I love the retro look and it never tried to overcomplicate things. It also had some cool hidden features that more recent versions of Windows got rid of. (such as active desktop)

I use Windows 8 though I used windows 7 for a long time.
Right now I'm still using Windows 7 and waiting for the update. Though I'm really happy with 7, I've been using it for a couple of years now. Never bothered on switching to Windows 8. My parents run it and I'm not exactly a fan. I don't dislike, just that I'm used to 7.

Forgot to mention I also run Windows 7 via Bootcamp on my Macbook lol
I used Windows XP for a very long time(at least like 5 years) but I currently use Windows 7, because 1. XP is outdated and 2. I think I like 7 better.
I'm using:
- iMac: OS X 10.10.x ~ Mainly to Stream Music from.
- Mac Mini: Windows 7 ~ Mostly for Capture Cards, or otherwise, to Manage YamiNet (a little part of Internet, that's only accessible to me, where I put all my Web Apps on, which I have in Development).
- MacBook Pro: Manjaro Linux with KDE ~ I use my Chat Clients (Skype, etc.) on that one.
- Surface Pro 3: Windows 10 and Manjaro Linux with Awesome WM (Dual-Boot) ~ For everything else. My Main PC is a Tablet!
For the record:
Yes, I bought all these Computers as brand new, but I never paid the Full Price for any of them.
In 2010, I bought my iMac with a 19% Discount.
In 2011, I bought my MacBook Pro with a 19% Discount + a 50% Discount atop of it (not really a Discount, it was possible for me to get a some money from the Dutch Government, to buy a Laptop with, because of my disability to write properly, back then).
In 2012, I bought my Mac Mini with a 21% Discount.
In 2015, I bought my Surface Pro 3 with a 21% Discount.
All in the MediaMarkt in The Netherlands (I lived there, until June 2015), they organise a huge Discount on the last Week of January, every single year.
