What OS Type Do You Use

What Operating System do you Use?

For those of you who Don't Know what Linux is, Educate Yourselves

[Fearn]

I use Vista. I have downloaded Linux, but haven't downloaded out of sheer laziness.

[Infiniti]

I mainly use Windows, but Linux occasionally for practicing my coding stuff like PERL.

I hate Macs. One of the guys in my class constantly tries to preach to people about how Macs are the greatest thing in existence....*Gouges temple with a pencil*

Windows. My dad has both and swears by linux as does my aunt, but I notice my dad seems to use windows only.

[Fearn]

I like Macs okay. They have a lot of cool features that I wish my laptop had (like GARAGEBAND!!) But they are so...weird. It's like being on another planet.

I multi-boot about twenty types of linux and windows XP, though my laptop only has the vista that came with it, as I need to learn about that to become better at computer repair/security. I find that linux is the best, provided you get the right type and learn how to use it. The only problem would be moving all your programs over and getting the right emulators (not what they really are, but makes more sense to most) up and running.

Only reason I use windows still is because this hard drive hasn't died yet and has so much information that it would take me about a week of just transferring files, much less actually setting it up.

If anyone wants to try linux after using windows, I recommend Ubuntu, as it is quite simple.

I cant do just linux, because my bro and sis dislike it. I cant do a dual boot becuase of my limited hard disk space(18 gigs)

So with that, I cant upgrade to vista either(256mb or RAM) so I'm stuck with my stupid old pirated copy(edit this if you wish) of windows XP

Current computer: Windows XP Proffesional SP2

Computer I'm building = Dual Boot Linux + Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition. I need 64 bit for my 16 gb DDR3 Ram. *Cheesy Evil Grin*. Also helps with the 12 MHz Quad Core Processor.

And the three Nvidia 8800 Ultra's. For those who are non-computer litterate. It means I'm building something that will play ANY game at full quality settings with no noticable slowing of the computer. In surround sound . *Dreams about playing Supreme Commander on his system*. *remembering the price tag*.
