      I think small businesses have a high percentage of single users with lots of company devices compared to larger companies. Big companies tend to just be like "here is your desktop" but smaller companies might give you lots of different technology or allow you to use more of your own.

        I must be in the wrong SMBs. Most that I've been with are avoiding the use of personal devices if at all possible.

          @Dashrender maybe you deal with people more interested is security than ease of use?

            That'll change. Change comes first in big markets

                @Mike-Ralston generally the same answers. The latest. Old is rarely better in software.

                  I've had compatability issues with tons of things, especially games, with 8 and 8.1

                    The best answer is 'the one that gets the job done'
                    There is no one best answer because it completely depends on what you're trying to accomplish.

                      Sure. But over time that will decline whereas with an old OS over time that will increase.

                        The concept to watch out for is "investing in technical debt".
