Vote please people

[Ensign Paris]

Hey

We need to push Mac OSX up the ratings, it is likely not to get a huge set of votes because it is not a techie OS and Windoze and Linux are big IT systems.

Get voting people, we need to puch OS X above the others ;)

[Hemingray]

[Grokgod]

Done, I voted for WINXP, oh wait was i supposed to vote for MAc,,
oh yea, I voted for OSX! yeah baby!

[TimDaddy]

I voted for OSX. Would it be cheating if went and voted again from my dad's computer?? That would count as my wife's vote. Maybe I could go to the library and vote for my kids. (Yes, at 3 & 5 years old, they know that Macs rule. Toyotas too!)

[edesignuk]

Damn, I can't believe what a tight run thing it is, they've been as good as even all the time :eek:

[stromie952]

Just voted

Still 33-34-33

[Mr. Anderson]

its so tight, because everyone who has a favorite platform is telling their friends to go and vote. These sort of things don't really mean anything at all. Anyone here ever take statistics? You need to get a random sampling if its going to mean anything.....this link is not a representative xsection of people.

[AlphaTech]

voted... the latest results are...

Windows XP 2651 (33%)
Mac OS X 2782 (34%)
Some flavor of Linux 2698 (33%)

OS X has the lead, at least for now. :D

[Ensign Paris]

I hope OSX wins, I expect it to, I don't see Windows winning, I think its a choice between Linux and OSX, I don't mind in Linux wins because there are many different types and if u seperated it down you would end up with OSX winning :)

[thebt]

Of course OSX got my vote!

Windows XP - 3605 (30%) :D
Mac OS X - 4425 (37%) !!! YES !!!
Some flavor of Linux - 3891 (33%) :D

[Backtothemac]

Well, they are not scientific, but they do show dedication to the platform, and I am sure that the guys over at ZDnet are calling all of their palls saying, hey man, you have to vote. Mac OS X is beating Windows XP.

[Ensign Paris]

Windows XP 3706 (30%)
Mac OS X 4707 (38%)
Some flavor of Linux 4046 (32%)

Hey, We are seriously kicking some ass now, I doubt that we could have got such a big lead just due to MR, looks like the Mac wins :)

I can't believe Linux is doing so well. Wow.

[Choppaface]

somehow i voted for bush

[crassusad44]

And OS X is in the lead, with 41%. Funny how XP seems to be the less popular. Only 28%. Now, lets shrink that to under 5% :p

[Stormyguy]

Done!

Windows XP 3892 (27%)
Mac OS X 6048 (42%)

haha... :p

i think that mac users overall (with proof of this poll) are usually a lot more passionate about their machines and how they are versus windows people that could care less...

like, imagine some guy at his office recieveing an email to vote for XP on a page like this .. theyd prolly not waste their time -- they wouldnt care... while if someone at work with a mac called theyd prolly vote..

i know this is a lame example, but you get the idea...

[Ensign Paris]

Keep reaching for the rainbow:

Windows XP 3903 (27%)
Mac OS X 6137 (43%)
Some flavor of Linux 4400 (30%)

That is probably the worst thing I have ever said! (The rainbow thing :))

The mac community is definitely a tight-knit, extremely passionate community. And, I'm proud to be a part of it! I hope that everyone else feels the same way.
