What OS do you use?

[Yamikarasu]

I have Win 7 Starter on my netbook and Win 7 Professional on my desktop. I like it. I don't mind macs, but I'm not willing to pay a thousand dollars for one. I've never tried Ubuntu.

(I can understand the lack of a floppy drive, though I often find myself wishing my computer had one, but why the lack of a CD drive? Don't people still use those?)

It's one of the rather defining differences between Laptop and Netbook that Netbooks don't have any sort of CD/DVD drive.

Consider using a USB drive workaround!

I was considering getting a netbook with Windows 7 but eh. Can't afford it at the moment..

 

[~Charizard_43~]

Had Windows XP, bought a new computer and got Vista, Vista sucked so I got rid of that and finally got Windows 7 64 bit. :D

 

[Palkia]

Vista is fine. Probably cuz i've got a powerfull computer.

Windows 7 (Main OS)
OS X 10.6.2 (VM)
Fedora 13 (Dual-boot with 7)

Mac OS X is nice, but I'm too used to Windows to switch.

@Mod: Could any MOD/Admin change the Poll from Ubuntu to Unix? And Add any other option felt necessary.

Might as well remove Mac OS X as well seeing as how it's built on BSD and BSD is Unix...

I use Vista because this is a rental laptop, when I get a new computer next year I'll probably have Windows 7.

I use Mac OS X 6.4, and I haven't looked back at Windows since. Sure it isn't the greatest OS ever, but I prefer it over Windows, however I still have a few programs that aren't supported on a Mac, as the PC is obviously the most widespread platform.

 

[Eon-Rider]

I've been using Windows 7 Home Premium as of yesterday. I'm glad I finally took the transition from Windows XP.

 

[Charizard★]

I'm using Windows Vista. Its pretty nice, at least in my opinion.

:D Someone who agrees. It's viturally a slower version of windows 7.

Okay, here goes:

Main desktop: Windows 7 Professional (main OS)/Windows XP Professional (second OS - never used)/Yet to be determined Linux distro (most likely Fedora 13, though - third OS)

Laptop: Windows Vista Home Premium - Will be Windows 7 Professional in a few months, though.

External Hard Drive Virtual Machines - Windows 3.11 on top of DOS 6.2, Windows Server 2003, Fedora 12 (never use any of these, though)

Out of curiosity, why do you use Windows 3.11? (or got interested in it anyway)

It's an older version of Windows. I only use it virtualized, though, and never for the internet or any games besides Solitaire.

My main operating system is Mac OS X 10.6.4 which I run on my MacBook Pro. I do have windows 7 installed via boot camp, but that's only ever used to watch blu Ray movies.
The current OS that I use predominantly (until I get fully moved) is iOS 3.2 & 4.0.

 

[tjwilliams24]

So your using an iPad and iPhone mostly? (Is that what you mean by iOS 3.2 and iOS 4?)

I'm seriously thinking about getting a MacBook, but I'm wondering how much of a pain it is to run Windows under Boot Camp for games an anything that won't run under OSX - I don't want OSX to be a liability. I've always been against it, but I've realised that the hardware is what I need - decent power, small size, good battery life, nice keyboard. Now that Source has been ported to Mac... I don't know... Coming up with $1500 is going to be an issue...

Oh, and:

And make this poll multi-choice.

Please? Zet? Twocows? Anyone?

 

[Cirrus]

Ubuntu is technically a Linux distro.

Uh.

Windows 7 is decent, I guess... I'm stubbornly holding on to XP, though. Waaaaay too many old games are incompatible with Vista/7, and I don't like most of the new games atm anyway.

I have a machine with Windows 3.1. Seriously.

Seriously? I have no problems getting most games from 1998 to 2010 to run on Windows 7.

Don't you need a blu ray drive to watch blu ray movies? Or is the video file blu ray?

I can't do anything, I'm just a PC Supporter now.
