Depends, assuming a fresh install, can you even create account on win11 without internet access? Last i checked, it wont let you start with local account and requires MS account.
Apparently you can, during setup there is a window of 11 milliseconds during which you need to press a combination of 11 keys so you're allowed to create a local account. The procedure only costs 11€ per try too
Yes, Windows 11 N or using a Rufus modified version.
Mine doesn't have a Microsoft account.
Grew up on windows 7. It was all I needed and was perfect. I don't need anything else. I didn't even want 10 but 10 is...ok I guess. I def don't want 11 though.

Duh, I'd rather be stuck with Vista.
But since it's not even an option, I would choose Windows 7 by default. Although 8.1 wasn't really THAT bad, I just think it will be treated exactly the same as 7 in terms of software support, similarly to how programs dropped support for Vista at the same time they did for XP.
whichever of the two is more like a bear
I dunno, if I'd built a shelter, 1 or 2 windows would be enough I think.
Hm, nobody addressed the fact that Windows 7 is outdated and has known vulnerabilities. The idea of this question was to see whether people would rather be spied on by Microsoft or by unknown strangers.
Spied on in the woods without an internet connection?
I pressed X to doubt so hard that my phone screen cracked.
Windows 2000 all the way.
The stability of the NT combined with that classic Windows look and feel. God I wish this did get released to consumers instead of Windows Me.
But my virtualisation software treats basically every Windows version before Vista really poorly, even with the necessary drivers installed. I guess I'll just get a real computer and install Windows 2000 on that instead.
Both would be a bear…
