RE: Which operating system do you prefer?

Windows 7 because it works just about flawlessly and it's beautiful. I'm checking out possible Linux successors though (looking closely at Kubuntu) because W7 is 6 years old. It'll need replacing eventually and I won't be moving to W10. I call its UI "Leon Spinx" after the boxer who Mohamed Ali once said was so ugly, it looked like a train went through his face.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I installed the original OS on my ssd as a bootable vhd.

XP was nice... but it's no longer supported.
My laptop has been running win7 since 2009... why stop?
At work, I have a fedora 21 with KDE, running mostly smoothly on a pentium 4 with 2GB of RAM... Most of what I do is on a virtual machine on a proper server some 2500km away, via VNC... so speed is... overrated.
Raspberry pi has raspbian and, what can I say?... it just works!
