Which OS do you mainly use?

JSLTIGER · 03-15-08, 11:22 PM

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.

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.

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.

Ya I'm a computer junky

since the MS/PC-DOS days.:rotfl:

No more Rum for you dude.

Did you breath when you typed?:rotfl:

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.

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

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

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:

Or at the least: Vista x86, Vista x64, XP, 2000, ME, 98.
