Who uses what OS

[emperoruriel]

I forgot, If you want, do tell us why you use that operating system.

Do tell what you use the operating system for, of course if you want.

[sushi]

Here is a poll to see who is running what operating system.
Don't see a poll. :confused:

[xUKHCx]

Don't see a poll. :confused:

To craete a thread with a poll you have to create the thread first then add the poll so there is always a little bit when there is no poll attached to the thread. The OP is creating the poll as I type.

[mr.light]

Don't see a poll. :confused:

Let's be poll - ite and wait. :D

Just joking.;)

[Santa Rosa]

I got in the first vote!! Sweet times :)

I've got a feeling we will get a very Mac orientated result, but it will definitely be interesting to see.

[mr.light]

I use XP once a year for about half an hour. Just to do my taxes. The rest of the time is spent on my Mac's using Tiger and one machine with OS 9.
(I even play with my old IIc once in a while)

[tersono]

Whoa.... I seem to have checked almost all of the boxes, and "other" covers a multitude of sins (various Win server OS's, OPENSTEP, Solaris).

Mebbe I need to get rid of some of this hardware cluttering up the place.....

...... on second thought, naaah... :p

FWIW Leopard is my primary OS both here and at work. XP/Vista are used for the odd work-related application that is Windows only (XP mostly on native hardware, Vista under VMWare). I run a couple of Windows servers to keep my hand in (I'm a systems admin working with both Windows and Mac), I have an old G4 running Tiger server (file/media server), an old Mac Plus (just a toy, really) and a Linux box (mail/web/bitlbee servers). The solaris box is getting old, but is basically a backup for the Linux machine and OPENSTEP is "just because." =]

I mostly use Mac OS X 10.5, Windows Vista 64 bit, and Debian Linux. Why? Because there's no such thing as a perfect OS, though Mac OS comes pretty close :D. Also, I run Linux on my server.

[xUKHCx]

I added the option for "Other".

I use XP, Vista, 10.5, 10.4, Ubuntu and Solaris

[Santa Rosa]

I use XP, Vista, 10.5, 10.4, Ubuntu and Solaris

You player you ;) :D

[Wicker]

Primarily I use Leopard, but I also use XP from time to time.

At uni I use Fedora 6 or Tiger.

[NT1440]

Vista 32 bit until i get a mac:(. This has been the longest wait of my lifetime:(
oh GOD i want a new macbook.:apple:

[operator207]

XP Pro: for work (in VMware Fusion on my Penryn MBP)
Win2k: In the garage on an old laptop so I can look things up, or see my car's manual when working on it.
Vista 64bit Ultimate: Wife's Laptop. I do not really use it, but I did buy it, so it counts for something.
Leopard: On the MBP
Other: FreeBSD for my server (mail web sftp etc) in (http://filedrop.unmerciful.com/cabinet/1%20-%20front%20closed.JPG) my (http://filedrop.unmerciful.com/cabinet/3%20-%20front%20closed%20from%20right.JPG) kitchen (http://filedrop.unmerciful.com/cabinet/8%20-%20cabinet%20full.jpg).

They would not give me the decommissioned XServe and XRaid from work. Even though it was "promised" to me as part of my severance pay. :(

[Mikey-]

In my house I use Leopard but in school we use windows

[priller]

I use Leopard mainly, xp pro for gaming & to run windows only mapping software, debian etch & freebsd 6.3 on servers.

[Watabou]

Mainly use leopard.

I set up bootcamp to run XP Pro for Crysis and bought VMWare to run Vista and Ubuntu 8.04. I dunno what the hype about Ubuntu is though. It seems like for everything, I have to go into the terminal. It is just so hard to use. Not user friendly at all like OS X is. Even Windows is easier to use than Ubuntu imo.

[emperoruriel]

Before, on my macbook pro, I had a triple boot system using mac 10.5 leopard with windows XP and Vista using boot camp.

I did though become tired of switching between 3 systems. Also, to my disappointment, I despised the way vista took 10 gigabytes or more on a computer where all my gigabytes count for just the operating system.

Either way, I decided to have XP as I did not see any performance gains, I would be happy if someone were to why so. Perhaps also I liked XP since I was raised with it and to me it looks more visually appealing than Vista with all its 3D improvements.

[zami]

Leopard mainly, have XP for emergencies on BootCamp and Linux on my Asus eeePC.

Can't stand any of them apart from OS X to be frank...

[Cassie]

I have bolded the ones I use most often.

Ok, here we go on the Mac side...

System 6, Mac OS 8, 10.3, 10.4 and sometimes 10.5

On the windows side...

Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000 and XP Home.

And on the Linux side...

Ubuntu 6.0.6 and Xubuntu 8. something-or-other

[Baffles]

I'm running Gentoo Linux on my colo and local servers, Windows Vista x64 on my custom quad core desktop box (I had osx86 on there, haven't gotten around to setting up dual boot), Leopard on a crappy emachines box I got for $50 on black friday, XP Pro on my laptop, Windows Mobile on my cellphone. Soon to be Leopard + Vista x64 on my laptop (when I get my MBP).

[yoppie]

I primarily use Leopard but during school exam periods I boot into Boot Camp (XP Pro) to use the exam software.

[Infrared]

OS X 10.5
64-bit Vista Business
64-bit Windows Server 2008
Debian 'Etch' in VMWare

[rynoman]

10.5 at home (yay)
XP at work (...)

Just to add to the fun, I had the distinct umm, pleasure of using Windows Media Player at work last week to play some mp3s. I still feel dirty...

:apple:

[aki]

i made a mistake in my vote :p

anyway....

Vista32SP1 - bootcamp games
Leopard - actually do work, video editing, music
XPSP3 (Parallels) - old games basically anything i can get to work in it .... the snapshots thing is greeeat

[nick9191]

Leopard, and did have a Linux file server until I shorted the board.

[Nermal]

Apparently I'm the only person using XP 64 :cool:

[aki]

Apparently I'm the only person using XP 64 :cool:

yes ;)

[Stridder44]

Apparently I'm the only person using XP 64 :cool:

My condolences. ;)

Vista x64 for gaming and Leopard for everything else here.

[italiano40]

I love Mac OSX 10.5 and Window XP, these are the two greatest OSes

[Nermal]

My condolences. ;)

Oh I have OS X too, but I use XP at work.

[jeremyrader]

XP Pro and Win2k at work.

Linux on my ancient Dell laptop (primarily a web surfing/kid's gaming device for my 5 y.o. daughter). XP is on there too, but it's too frustrating for her to use. She keeps asking for her own Mac...

XP Pro is loaded on both Macs (using Fusion). My wife has a Viking sewing machine that uses Microsoft Paint for the DIY embroidery program. I'm still hesitant to shell out the cash and deal with possible conversion issues for Mac versions of Dramatica Pro and a handful of DVD backup tools (I did switch to Age of Empires for Mac though...:D). I'm also using our old PC with XP as a media server.

Leopard is on both Macs and is by far the most used and most useful.

[junkmailbonzai]

10.5.3 all the way!
my wife also uses the same on her macbook!
:D

[SuperCompu2]

In order of frequency (most-least):

1. 10.3.9
2. 10.5.3
3. XP Home SP3

In order of most used all-time:

1: XP Home
2: 10.3
3: 10.4
4: Windows ME and earlier
5: 10.5

Roger that. Never created a poll, so I did not realize there was a delay.

Let's be poll - ite and wait. :D
Good point.

I forgot, If you want, do tell us why you use that operating system.
Completed your poll.

Looks like I use all but the 64 bit versions of XP and Vista.

[Siron]

I use OSX (of course). I installed XP Pro with SP2 initially and then installed Vista Business 64 with SP1 which I use for AutoCAD and games. I use XP Pro for Microsoft Money and Quickbooks Pro. I will migrate these to Vista when I get the time.
