Do you run Windows ONLY on your Mac?

[muldul]

Are you Crazy?! Hell no! If anything i only use OS X. I haven"t used windows probably once at all this year.

 

[-SD-]

The only things I use Windows for are Softimage XSI and Visual C# for coding/debugging the Xbox 360.

I use Parallels most of the time, unless I'm using XSI then I'll boot into XP.

I use Windows 99% of the time, because it runs everything I need.

I don't let Windows anywhere near any computer that I paid for.

as of right now, i only own macs. but almost all of them have some form of windows installed on them. but i mainly use Leopard, just windows sometimes

Actually, now that I use Leopard, Windows is now the awkward one for me. It's 90/10, favoring the Mac. 🙂

Similar here.

In order to make the win environment decent, I have modified it so it looks like and functions vaguely like Leopard. Much nicer that way...

Here is Win and OS X:

My main OS is definitely OS X. I have XP installed on a little 32 GB partition of it's own for when I need to run Windows programs or want to play games.

I had Vista on there for a short time, but wiped it and put XP back on before I even activated it. Hopefully 7 will convince me to stop partying like it's 2001.

I haven't run Windows on any of my computers since early 2005. Any gaming can be satiated by consoles from either Sony or Nintendo.

Are you kidding? Windows has some advantages in terms of software, but to only use it over OSX on a Mac seems a bit over the top.

I used to have boot camp installed on my MBP for games but it was using up too much disc so I wiped it once I finished the games I had. Now I have Parallels and XP but I would say I am 100% OS X. Technically, while I do boot Windows to run some stuff (DVD fab for instance) I don't use Windows itself. I just boot the damn thing and run the program. The data is written to my Mac partition and when it finishes I shut Windows down again. I don't browse the web, do e-mail, use Explorer to manage files or anything. I am simply using it as an analogue of Classic especially since I am running in seamless mode so Windows simply doesn't appear to be there.

I keep a small WinXP Pro session in VMWare Fusion (along with Ubuntu, and probably tomorrow, NetBSD 5 😀), but it's strictly to run the odd windows app (pretty rarely), or to help a family member with XP.

I switched away from Windows for a reason, and OS X is just WAY ahead of both XP and Vista - and although Win 7 is looking decent (I've tried one or two of the betas so far), I don't think I'll be really impressed with Windows again unless Microsoft decides to base their OS on UNIX like Apple did.

I've tried Win 7 RC and it is so much faster than Vista that I thought it was actually quicker than XP. It isn't though. Running the two side by side, Win 7 definitely lags but compared with Vista it is at least usable. MS should be truly *ASHAMED* of Vista and I guess they are given how quickly they have shoved Win 7 out the door.

I still don't see people prefering Win 7 to XP on netbooks but I guess they'll have it forced on them. Just hoping ARM based netbooks start to come out.

At my dads company(he's an architec spelt wrong:/) they all have Macs but mostly run windows, they use leopard for designing and 3D virtual building view stuff. But it's mostly paperwork and well windows is a lot better for paper work, stacks and stuff. They also use some exe programs on windows aswell
