Which Os do you mainly use? If you use more than 1 post the one you use most often.

whoops this was going to be a poll, but accidently hit ctrl w. Tge options I was going to include were Windows. Macintosh, Linux, Solaris. Since there is no poll any other os's are welcome.

Both XP pro 32 bit on my desktop and Vista Home Premium (32 bit) on my laptop. I don't have anything bad or particularly good to say about either one :hmm:

[nikimcbee]

XP home

[fatty]

Vista 32 Ultimate at home, Windows XP Pro at work and school

[antikristuseke]

XP pro 32 bit with every service i dont need turned off and other performance enhancing tweaks.

[JSLTIGER]

Windows Vista Home Premium (x86) on Shadowhawk, which will soon be upgraded to Vista Ultimate (x64) as I go to 6GB RAM courtesy of MS giving me a free copy for participating in the Feedback program.

On Odyssey, I'm still running XP Home, which, while I miss some ofthe features of Pro, serves my needs just fine when I'm on the go.

[Graf Paper]

Currently my aging box runs Windows XP Pro SP2 but I'm hoping to break into Linux or Unix as an eventual upgrade, maybe Debian or Solaris.

I used to run a dual OS configuration with Win98 SE and WinXP Pro because some of my older games and software choke on XP but lack of Win98 drivers for my new vid and sound card meant having to ditch 98 despite liking it better than XP.

At least DOSBox makes XP more useful for my old DOS games like Wolfpack and X-Wing.

[Wolfehunter]

I use Vista 32 Ultimate on my Custom modded tower, Vista 32 Home Premium on my Sony VIAO laptop, XP SP2 on my Dell laptop. I have two older systems a Acer laptop and Custom desktop using XP SP2 there for my daughter to toy with and learn.:yep: Ya I'm a computer junky:rock: since the MS/PC-DOS days.:rotfl:

[antikristuseke]

With ennough rum breathing and typing at the same time becomes multitasking and we all know how poorly we males fare at that. Probable outcome under those circumstances: loss of conciousnes.:lol:

I was just ticked because I typed 'XP', and it said "You must use at least three characters".:damn:

I'm too much of a character as it is!:rotfl:

[Jimbuna]

Probably too late now, but would it not be better to have the different Windows OS types, such as XP Pro, XP Home, Millenium, 98 etc. :hmm:

Send the cheque in the post (cash preferred)....used notes, they're harder to trace.

I would, but by the time it got to you, with the way the dollar's been trading, it'd be worthless! (Therefore, I won't even bother.) :p

Well, Bill Gates monopolized the market and almost every software is designed for Windows exclusively. I've got no choice

[Konovalov]

Windows XP Home with SP2 and have been very happy with it. :yep:

[seafarer]

My main home computer is my Apple powerbook (15" alum. G4, but I'll probably upgrade to a 17" Macbook Pro this fall, now that they finally have the LED screen option), so I mainly use OS X 10.4. My main work computers are all either running OS X (XServe's, some G5, some Intel, but all on 10.4 until we get PBS to play nicely on 10.5) or Linux (Dell poweredge rack servers for the most part, a couple running RedHat enterprise, most running Fedora). My desktop machine at work is a dual-G5 Mac still running OS X 10.4 (will become a dual quad-core Mac Pro running 10.5 come the summer). I also have a Win XP-SP2 box on my desk, but rarely have a use for it.

My home gaming machine is Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP1. So really, the only time I use Windows is when playing a game or sim. My printer at home used to be shared off the Windows box, but I now have a standalone 802.11g inkjet printer (so now the Vista box sleeps or is shut down when not playing games).

WOW! What do you do for a living...graphic artist?

[seafarer]

Computational molecular biology actually. I work in a center that provides computing services and resources for mostly health science research. We have a pair of XServe clusters (dual powerpc-G5's and dual dual-core Xeon machines) and several dual dual-core or quad-core Xeon Linux machines. We'll be adding some dual quad-core Xeon XServes later this year. And we have something like 10-12TB of XServe RAID storage, looking to grow that to 30-40TB this year.

Even though I use OS X mainly, I spend at least as much time in it at a terminal as I do at the GUI (my "word processor" is usually just NEdit in an X terminal :lol: ).

[AG124]

XP Pro on my two desktops, XP Home on my laptop. Had one last Pentium MMX with 98SE in working condition, but it was destroyed in the flood last summer.

Does any body use Solaris?

Left click on the digits of the poll.
