What OS do you use?

[tjwilliams24]

Which Operating System do you use?

Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Mac OS X
Linux
Unix

Also, specify which version you use, if you may.

 

[Captain Fabio]

Currently, I am using Windows 7 because it is much better than Vista.

A macbook Pro will soon be in my possession, so Snow Leopard will then be the OS of choice.

 

[mr. ck]

Ubuntu counts as Linux...

And make this poll multi-choice.
We have Win XP and WIn 7 and Ubuntu and even Google Chromium on our computers.

Also, you bothered to write different versions of Windows, but not for Mac and Linux?
Would have been better if the Poll said "Windows, Mac, Linux, Other"

 

[tjwilliams24]

Sorry I couldn't make the poll to your liking.

EDIT: I didn't know there where other versions of Mac.

 

[Team Rocket's Raichu]

I currently use Vista, but by the end of the Summer I will have a MacBook.

 

[tjwilliams24]

I wouldn't know how to handle the switch from Windows to Mac OS X.

 

[Serene Grace]

I'm currently using the Windows Seven operating system which I purchased sometime around December last year. I've had experience with all the operating systems you've listed above and my favourite is the Mac OSX, followed by Windows Seven.

 

[tjwilliams24]

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.

I use no less than three OSes regularly. On my MacBook, I have a copy of Leopard (for printer compatibility), Snow Leopard (barely use it, plan on upgrading Leopard over the summer), Win 7 (which is seeing some heavy game action now that I have Steam on it; can possibly be virtualized by mounting the partition as a VM), Win XP (for some software that I use daily; virtualized), Ubuntu Linux (really doesn't have a purpose, I keep it there just in case anything might arise that I need it for; virtualized), and Sun Microsystem's Solaris (don't use it anymore, pushed to backup drive because I couldn't get it to work properly; virtualized).

 

[Alyssachu]

I used XP practically most of my life until I bought my laptop back in February.
Now I'm runnin' on Windows 7... thank God! :D

 

[Silver]

I'm running Mac OS X (10.6.4) on both my 3.06GHz iMac and 2.4GHz MacBook Pro

 

[EJ]

Windows XP Pro is what I use on me lappy.

 

[!!!]

I use Windows 7 because it has all of my favourite apps (Miranda IM, Foobar2000, Media Player Classic Home Cinema, Photoshop, etc.) and I can play all of my games on it.

win xp home on a phenom x4 9850 black edition 4.99 ghz XD been using xp since i was 5 i love xp

 

[Hohoo]

Ubuntu.

Spoiler:

Fortunately. If I used any other GNU/Linux distro, I couldn't have picked anything.

This computer's running Windows 7. On my old laptop, I have Windows Vista, but I only use that for games nowadays as this computer has no CD drive. (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?)

I'm actually considering trying Linux, but it looks painfully different to install. Maybe I should wait until next year. XD

 

[Dawn]

Why, Windows 7 of course! Both 32 bit and 64 bit on different computers.

I think they still sell external floppy disk drives, obsolete as they are, and I know that they sell external DVD drives. Also, you might want to try Steam; their selection is pretty good and it's all digitally distributed so it eliminates a disk drive.

For Linux, try downloading a precompiled VM from VMware and run it in Player. That should allow you to try it out without screwing anything up; if by some chance you do, you can always delete or restore the VM to an older state.

 

[Alistair]

I use Windows 7 on my laptop, Mac OS 9.2 and OS X 10.4.11 on my Power Mac G4, and System 7 on my Macintosh Plus. All of these systems do receive daily use.

I've seen external floppy disk and CD drives before, but unfortunately my budget doesn't allow for them at the moment. Besides, starting up my old laptop isn't too much of a pain, considering how often I actually want to play a game.

You mean Windows Media Player, or is there some other type of player I have to download? It sounds easy enough, anyway, I'll have to try it. Debian is supposed to be a good Linux distribution, right?
