Poll: What Operating System do you use and why?

[Withall]

Windows 7. Their best one yet. We shall see what Windows 8 can do.

 

[OrdinaryGuy]

Windows XP, it still works great and I'm very comfortable with it. I'm going to put Windows 7 64-bit on my PC when I decide to get a new hard drive.

 

[Osfacae]

Mac OSX. And I'm proud of it.

 

[knumpify]

got windows 7 and happy with it. anything I didn't like, I modded with tweak-7. I enjoy making windows my *****.

 

[RedBeta22]

XP cause I dont have the money to upgrade.

 

[rhyno435]

XP. I don't want Vista, and I can't get 7 right now.

Somebody gave me a Mac, but it has a slightly old OS (Mac OS X "Panther"...Update 10.3.9). The thing is, with Apple, it might as well be ancient.

I can't run Adobe Flash Player 10, because you need at least OS X 10.4. I can't update iTunes or Quicktime because the OS is too old (for the record, it is no older than Microsoft's Windows XP, yet I can update everything on that OS).

I would update to Snow Leopard, but I don't think it's worth it, because worst of all, I can't connect to my wireless network because I don't have an AirPort network, it's just a D-Link network, which works fine with my other computers.

I hate Apple; they make you keep paying in order to use the latest things. [sub]I still use their iPod though.[/sub]

So that was my little rant...Good day.

Use Linux distro cause I've got no damn choice. Fucking stupid Windows refusing to install after I tried Linux.

I have windows 7 premium blend home edition 32 bit with sprinkles.

Although I am looking for other "donuts" although the only thing that has thrown me off from linux is that, although i try i'm not good with console commands, and i don't know how to heat my "donuts" up.

Windows XP, she may be old but shes stable and works well.

Desktop - Windows 7 Pro 64bit - It is awesome and free through school...
Laptop - Windows 7 Home Edition 32bit - Was a free upgrade when I bought my laptop, and it is a lot better than Vista.

 

[Hashime]

Windows 7, both 32 and 64 bit versions. I like DX11.
I also have Karmic Koala on both computers for more nefarious tasks.

 

[Railgun88]

Windows 7 for gaming and general internet, also music and such.
Linux Ubuntu 9.10 for torrents, limewire, programing, and other things that could harm my Win7 HD.

Also Windows 7 takes advantage of my 8GB of RAM, and my Phenom II X4 965 BE for games and such.
And Ubuntu allows for safe downloads that I can scan before sending them to my Windows 7 HD. It took me a while but I started a good habit that keeps Windows 7 safe.

 

[Veylon]

I use Windows Vista because it was in the computer when I got it. I keep using it because my computer hasn't broken down yet. I'll probably get Windows 7 or 8 when it does.

 

[thenoblitt]

i use xp because it is easily customizable without having to go through a thousand damn options like vista, saying that i hate vista to death and i hope it dies (yay redundancy), never tried 7 though

 

[teh_gunslinger]

Vista 64 bit because I bloody love it. It's awesome. And I mean that. It's rock solid. 4 crashes in a year and a half, and 3 of them was my own fault. That's infinitely better than XP.

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit because it was dirt cheap. It's unstable as all hell though. By which I mean it crashes at times when I shut it down and Steam seems to be wonky. Or at least more unstable than Vista. Still miles better that XP. Though I want to strangle the fool who designed the bloody task bar.

openSUSE 11.something 64bit, because I like it and it's fun.

Ubuntu 9.something 64 bit because it's pretty neat. Not as neat as SUSE though.

 

[Jynxx-TheSiren]

Mac OSx.

1. It was free.
2. Its convenient.

 

[icyneesan]

Windows Vista x64
Why?
Because it came with this computer and im to lazy/cheap to get it through alternative means
