Poll: Which OS are you using?

[MacRumors]

Vote: Poll: Which OS are you using? (http://www.macpolls.com/?poll_id=156&ref=forums.macrumors.com)

[Doctor Q]

I only voted once here (Mac OS X) but I have multiple Macs at home, and I use System 7, Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X. Sorry, I never used System 6 or earlier.

At work, I also use Linux, Windows (2K, NT, XP) and its DOS emulator, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, SCO OpenServer, and Digital Unix.

[Snowy_River]

Ah, the glory of OS X. I have a large supply of older apps, though, but I've only rarely come across one that didn't work perfectly fine under Classic. I even have a game that stopped working under the old MacOS (stopped around 8.5, I think) that, miraculously works under Classic.

(I, too, work with a lot of other systems, though not as many as mentioned in the above post...)

[ddtlm]

I hate polls like this. Right now I am using OSX, but 5 minutes ago I was at my Linux machine.

[ibookin']

OS X all the way!

Although I also have Win2K and Linux installed on my PC, both of which I use sometimes...

:eek: Oops! Didn't think about the other Mac's in the house. I use mostly OS X but have this old Powerbook that is running something like 7.6. (Use it so infrequently that I forgot all about it.)

[eric_n_dfw]

Add me to the list of multi-os users:

Main machine: DP G4/500, "Ivanava", OS X 10.2.4
Web server: P2 300, "Sheridan", RedHat Linux 7.3
Other PC: DP P2 266, "Lando", Windows 2000
Tinkering Mac: PMac 7500/604 104, "Sinclair", OS 9.2 / YellowDog Linux

Work machines, (boring names omitted):
Work laptop, Dell P3 700, Windows 2000
Work desktop, G4 500, OS X 10.2.4

Experimental Mac's (was going to try to make a Linux cluster with these a few years ago, but never got around to it):
4 LC III's, "Drazi 1,2,3 & 4", MkLinux (not working well though)
Quadra 605, "Drazi Ambassidor", MkLinux

[edesignuk]

OS X on my Mac, then a mixture of XP Pro, 2000 Pro/Server/Adv Server on my PC's at home and at work.

[-hh]

In general order of preference...

1. Home Mac w/ OS 9.x (although 8.6 is also installed)
2. Work PC w/ Win2000
3. Work Laptop w/ Win98

Hope to add to this soon a Mac Laptop w/ OS X, but the wife keeps on saying "Not until the tax refund arrives".


-hh

[PretendPCuser]

Home Macs/PC (All for Sale!! - C'mon, 970!! *rolls the bones*)
2x G4 400Mhz Running OS X.2.4
1x PM7500 Modded to G3 350Mhz Running OS 9.2.2
1x PIII 500Mhz Running Win98SE (for games and windows web browsing/testing)
Nothing better than firing up multi-machines to make your day at work melt away...


Work
Dual 867 G4 Running OS X.2.4 with Classic for good ol' never updated Quark.

Tried to go InDesign, but when they were offering it FREE, boneheads here at work didn't opt to get it. IDIOTS!! :mad:

[posixstudent]

The choices were not fair :(

I run Mac OS X on my iBook and BeOS on my PC

Oh the broad catagory of "other" :D

[Giaguara]

only X here. :D

[MacFan25]

I'm running Mac OS 10.2.4.

[wdlove]

Well I'm in the mionority at 5.6% using Mac OS 9. I am just plain used to it, stable for the most part. It's my fault when it acts up! :( Just biding my time for Steve to release the PPC 970 with Mac OS 10.3!

[janey]

Jaguar, OS 9 (quark...yeah i dislike indesign because it's crappy), win2k, winxp, win9x, Linux, Lindows, Panther :D
(note: just kidding about panther :p)

[medea]

I still have 9 installed, but I rarely if ever use classic.

[scem0]

Mainly windows, but OS X too.

[jimjiminyjim]

Well, even though the general flow of comments on this forum has been about all the different OS's we run, it's surprising to see how many people are using only OS X without classic.

[bluefido]

OS X has been my OS of choice for the past year or so. I am very familiar with other OS's but find them not as elegant. Anyways, I have definitely made the switch. I suggest to every non-OS X user to make the jump but won't hate them if they don't...

It's good to read of your tolerance toward the minority. I can be stubborn at times. For now I see no reason to change! ;)

[Giaguara]

i have only os x. i needed money so i had to sell away my old peecee. so now that i have only mac, i still don't like classic. i have everything i ever need for OS X - and if not, i just compile the stuff i need from the plain unix versions. :)

[AlphaTech]

10.2.4 on my TiBook. 9.2.2 is also installed, but I haven't used that in months. I won't miss OS 9.x when I get my new Mac (after WWDC or MWNY).

I also have a windows box, that's running win2k. I use that for games ONLY and only power it up when I feel like doing some killin... heh

Oh, and for me, one computer, one partition per drive, one OS per drive. I don't do dual/multi-boot.

[WinterMute]

OSX 10.2.4 on the Ti and the eMac, XP pro under VPC on the eMac.

OS 9.2.2 for classic and dual boot for ProTools (no 6 upgrade yet:( )

wow. you sure do have a lot of computers...i mainly use only like 4 computers:
dual 1.42ghz Power Mac (2gb RAM/4x180gb hard drives) with dual Cinema Displays
iBook (800mhz G3, 128mb RAM)
17" Aluminum PowerBook (1ghz G4, 512mb RAM)
a really disgusting PC with dual 2.4ghz P4 Xeons
stuff to go with that: 10gb iPod and Airport Extreme :D :p :)

[Jordanater]

Well I am 16 and I currently own (not counting the 3 more macs that my family owns) 6 macs.

Mac SE - OS 7.0
Mac IIci - OS 7.5
PowerMac 6100/80Mhz (overclocked) - OS 7.5.5
PowerBook 3400/180Mhz - OS 9.0.4
Powerbase 240Mhz - OS 9.1
Beige PowerMac G3/416Mhz (350Mhz ziff + Overclock) - OS 10.2

I run the Beige pretty much exclusivly now, without classic installed. Although once in a while I like messing with the old systems. I guess I have a pretty good mac collection for only being 16 and not having a job. At this rate im going to have to open a museum when I'm 80 years old.

(By the way I also have a working Apple IIc but i desided not to count it)

[bennyek]

10.2.4 for me. Been on OSX since the day osx beta was released

[GeneR]

I used 9 and X. But not the most recent X. Just 10.1.5. :mad:

Don't have iApps either like iCal. :mad:

Oh well... :D
