Well two of my machines will remain on XP, the first is a test bad as XP will still be around for a while.  I am still asked to repair computers with a massive 20gig IDE drive and the like.  The second will run as a scanner unit as I have an expensive HP scanner unit that HP decided not to write Win 7 drivers for.  That will remain at least until I have digitised all of my slides.  Neither of these are connected to the network so the lack of MS support is no real issue.

Both my Poser machines run Windows 7 and if Windows 9 is anything like Windows 8, for me at least, Windows 7 will have a life to match that of XP.

I never liked Vista so I skipped that completely and went from XP to Windows 7 and I only did that because Poser went to 64 bit at the same time I was building a new poser machine so it made sense.  I like Windows 7 and have settled with it.  Saw Windows 8 and it's like as Windows mobile early on when I worked in a Phone store.  Personally I hated it from day one and, now I have retired I do not even need to keep up to date with it let alone use it. 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
