Really? I would have thought buying a laptop with a pre-loaded version was a consumer choice, however misguided

 

[DefunctTheory]

XP. Go Windows 'Classic.'

 

[zHellas]

Windows Vista. I've always used Windows as an operating system and it has never let me down. Therefore, I choose to continue using Windows as my operating system.

Same here. Vista may have been complete shit in it's early days, but now it works just fine.

Windows 7 here. So far I haven't missed a single Windows release. I don't consider myself a Microsoft fanboy (I despise IE), but so far Windows has never let me down, and since Windows has better general compatibility with both software and hardware than the alternatives, I couldn't see myself switching any time soon.

i hit windows other because i run things on vista, XP and XP64. xp64 is the most solid make, but it's straight-guy-in-the-east-village rare that i can get a WORKING peripheral device driver. but fortunately it's a gaming rig, and i can get WH40KoW2 running pretty well.

my laptop is vista, and i use it for all my downloading, and research purposes. also a pretty handy alarm clock.

my old xp system i have for records of my old files*.

I have Win 7 on my uber-awesome gaming PC (which can run Crysis easily on Very High ), Mac OSX Leopard on my backup laptop, and XP on my backup backup 8-year-old laptop.

 

[whattheblub]

At the moment XP on desktop and netbook. But I plan on changing the desktop to windows 7 and dual booting the netbook with ubuntu

 

[Stevato]

Windows 7, I like it alot. Never got along with Vista

 

[A random person]

Ubuntu, a friend converted me to Linux. Technically I'm dual booting with Windows XP, but I'm not really using it (though its partition takes up most of my hard drive).

 

[Iznat]

Windows 7.
Laptop came with Vista (hence it was a good 200 euro less than with Windows 7 and with the same specs) and I put 7 on it the day I got it in the mail.

It's so pretty ^_^

 

[Megacherv]

XP, 7 when the Student discount in England arrives. For now, I upgrade my computer for Starcraft II.

Calumon: Why can we just put a go faster stripe on?

You know that near Christmas you coud get it for £30 for having an ac.uk e-mail address?

 

[Thaius]

Mac OSX for the win. I use Windows XP too, but it sucks and I only use it for games. Less so now, what with Steam being available on Mac.

 

[mb16]

why is it 7/vista
7=
vista=

 

[fenixkane]

why is it 7/vista
7=
vista=

I only had 8 choices and I wanted to cover the whole spectrum.
Vista and 7 are different but are still a heck of a lot more similar than any of the other choices. I'm sorry but you'll just have to share.

 

[joystickjunki3]

Windows 98 Second Edition.

 

[MrTub]

I'm using Vista & windows 7 & xp

 

[The Spectator]

Running Windows 7 and loving it. Though this laptop came with Vista. Which was first replaced by XP. I had the Windows 7 RC while it was out, which pretty much convinced me which OS to get next time.

 

[Rayansaki]

Ubuntu for programming based on threads and processes, Windows 7 for everything else.

 

[Lt.Snuffles]

I use windows 7, but on vista I used paint quite a lot for animations, but because the paint in windows 7 is... shit, i can no longer do such things
