What version of Mac OS do you use?

[iMacZealot]

Since I've been in a bit of a (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=227147) poll (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=227149) mood (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=227144) tonight, I decided to take it a little further by doing a Mac OS poll. This poll, you can only select one. Select the OS you use the most. Enjoy!

tiger powerpc

[zap2]

Tiger Interl. most of the time, but one my iMac G5 and iBook G4 in Tiger PPC

Well, we have people in this forum who use both System 7 and Rhapsody... and I would guess that both (even if it is one vote each) would have a higher number of users than 10.0/10.1.

I would say that I split my time pretty evenly between 10.3, 10.2 (which is the only OS I've ever used while posting in this forum), Rhapsody and 8.6.

:rolleyes:

... though lately I've done less with 8.6 and more with OPENSTEP (but I can't run any of my Macs with OPENSTEP).

[wmmk]

tiger ppc and jaguar server.

[bigrell486]

10.4 on my Macbook, 10.3 on my iMac, 9.1 on My Powerbook G3 (Kanga), 8.1 on my Powerbook 5300 CS, and 8.1 on my Quadra 605

[im_to_hyper]

10.4.7 (Intel) on my MacBook.

I am also running the hacked OS 7.6.1 that runs on iPods on my 1st Gen 5GB iPod. Fairly decent O/S, really... I'm just looking forward to keyboard support!

Actually, I am full of it. Its 230AM... time for some messing around, don't you think?

[j26]

I'm still on Panther, and I think I'll stick with it until Leopard (10.5.3 or so to get rid of any bugs). It works fine for me.

Tiger came out about 6 weeks after I got my PB and I've never really had the urge to upgrade.

[ZoomZoomZoom]

Tiger PPC, but soon to be Tiger Intel in about a month...

Not sure if I'm going to move to 10.5 either, so Tiger's stuck with me for a good bit.

[sunfast]

10.4.7 on my MacBook and iMac, though obviously Intel and PPC builds respectively. It's the only version of Mac OS I've used.

[Deepdale]

OS 9.1 is still in effect here.

[Mackilroy]

10.4.7 Intel.

Mac OS 8 or earlier .

[AvSRoCkCO1067]

Tiger Intel, but my sis still uses Panther

[iMacZealot]

I have Tiger on my iMac G5, and my iMac G3 varies. I like to play around with it and experiment by clearing the thing and reinstalling from the start. Sometimes I use 9.1, sometimes 10.0, sometimes 10.1, but usually 10.3.9.

[RacerX]

Mac OS 8 or earlierMac OS 8.0 released July 26, 1997
Rhapsody 5.0 (first version) released August 31, 1997
Rhapsody 5.6 (final version) released October 27, 2000

Funny... neither of those Rhapsody dates are earlier than Mac OS 8.

In fact Apple stopped selling Rhapsody in the Summer of 2001, months after the release of Mac OS X v10.0.

Sorry to have to give you a history lesson, but your or earlier doesn't qualify here.

Interesting to see how prevalent the Intel version of Tiger is. At the moment it outweighs the PPC version 52% to 38%.

Yeah, but the ability to only select one option may distort things. I have Tiger PPC on two machines, and Tiger Intel on one, but I selected Tiger for Intel just because I use my Intel iMac slightly more than my PowerBook and Power Mac.

[Bobdude161]

10.3.9 son. Works great for me. I'm sure I'm gonna be using it for the next four years.

[imacintel]

10.4.7 Intel.

(System 7.0.1)

[Foxglove9]

I use Tiger, though I wish I would have stayed with Panther. Every just operated a little quicker back then.

[twoodcc]

both tiger intel and tiger ppc

[RacerX]

Yeah, but the ability to only select one option may distort things.I agree.

If I was going to set up a poll for this it would have aloud multiple selections of the following:Mac OS X v10.4
Mac OS X v10.3
Mac OS X v10.2
Mac OS X v10.1
Mac OS X v10.0
Mac OS X Public Beta
Mac OS X Developer Previews (1-4)
Mac OS X Server 1.x (Rhapsody 5.3-5.6)
Rhapsody Developer Releases (Rhapsody 5.0-5.1)
Mac OS 9.x
Mac OS 8.x
A/UX 3.x
System 7.x
A/UX 1.x-2.x
System 6.0.x
pre-System 6.0Where the ones I have are all in italics and the ones I regularly use are in bold-italics (meaning I would have voted for the bold-italics ones based on the original poster's question).

And actually the whole Intel/PowerPC thing for 10.4 seems a little odd. If we are going to look at that, then we may as well look at all the multi-platform operating systems too...Mac OS X v10.4 Intel
Mac OS X v10.4 PowerPC
Mac OS X v10.3
Mac OS X v10.2
Mac OS X v10.1
Mac OS X v10.0

Mac OS 8.x PowerPC
Mac OS 8.x 68K
A/UX 3.x
System 7.x PowerPC
System 7.x 68K

pretty extensive... nice

[~Shard~]

I'm still on Panther actually. Never saw the need initially to upgrade to Tiger, as Spotlight and Dashboard just didn't do it for me. Once I played around with it though, I did find it quite nice, but at that point I knew Leopard was less than a year away, so now I'm just going to wait for that.

[steamboat26]

Tiger, and panther on my imac (which i never use anyway)

[pianoman]

tiger intel

[20rogersc]

Panther, but Leopard as soon as it comes out ;)
Good to see that quite a few haven't upgraded!

::20ROGERSC::

[FredClausen]

Too bad there isn't an option for multiple selections. I personally use Tiger Intel on my MacBook, and Tiger PPC on my Mac Mini which I upgraded from Panther.

my imac (which i never use anyway)

Poor iMac :(

[ThomasJefferson]

7.5.3 on my motorolaMAC

10.3 on my powerbook and ibook

[MacRumoron]

i use 10.4 intel and ppc about even.. i know i use one more than the other but I can't decide which

[Zwhaler]

Am I the only one who noticed that Cheetah and Puma are mixed up :confused:

[~Shard~]

Am I the only one who noticed that Cheetah and Puma are mixed up :confused:

Evidently yes... ;)

[count chocula]

10.4 intel

[daneoni]

Tiger PowerPC and it'll stay that way as i dont intend to upgrade to Leopard...dont see the need. Might reconsider if someone is generous to buy me one.

As it is i still wish i was on panther..i miss it badly and its unfortunate my PB model no longer supports it. Things were definately quicker in panther and i was running at 512MB. With Tiger i have 2GB and i occasionally still check system preferences to see why things are crawling.

[macgeek2005]

Why is there no option for 10.5? :rolleyes:

[VicMacs]

I know, leopard is the bomb! no crashes yet :P

[FadeToBlack]

10.4.7 Intel

[illegalprelude]

whattt, there cant be almost as many Interl 10.4.5 users as PowerPC users :eek: :confused:

[~Shard~]

whattt, there can be almost as many Interl 10.4.5 users as PowerPC users :eek: :confused:

Or, that transition is going really good and marketshare is up... ;)

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Or, that transition is going really good and marketshare is up... ;)I think so... even some Norwegian on-line papers (the mainstream ones, not just the computer centric) has picked up the story the last couple of days that there's a shortage of MacBooks, with increasing delivery times... :)

BTW: I'm using Tiger (Intel) on my MacBook... ;)
