I was just wondering what system you guys are using. I switched to Apple two years ago and I couldn't be happier.
Linux (Ubuntu). Extremly fast, free, no one spies on me, and the fanboys are much more endurable than the Apple crowd
Vista Business on laptop and XP Home Premium on the main PC. Vista: More unstable than a granny on crack... Never again. XP Home Premium: After changing layout to something more fancy, it works for all my needs and is at least twice as stable as Vista... But I am curious on Apple's OS' though!
Mac - Ever since OSX first appeared - "It's Unix after all!"..... Rob - Without getting too "fanboyish", give it a go - You'll never go back to Windoze....
Where's the multiple choice for those of us who use different horses for different courses? Currently using Windows XP Pro, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows 7 Pro, Mac Snow Leopard, Ubuntu, Fedora, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, a couple of other live Linux distros for special purposes, still have a machine running Windows 95, bunch of other OSs hanging around on disk "just in case".
Made a "hackintosh" recently by loading Snow Leopard on a MSI netbook. Took some tweaking, but it runs great and is rock solid. Also run all the above plus IBM AIX. Yes, I'm a geek for a living!
I run OS/2 on a desktop at home and on a laptop at work. My computer needs are pretty basic and the system covers all my needs. It is light on resources and is very stable. I don't get virus or other malware problems.
Just to give you an idea of what's really going on out there, here are some stats from one of my sites: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Well, less than 1%. but it still beats Linux. I can't wait for Google to release their fully web-based OS. Once they can get a computer to load Google Docs and their other apps WITHOUT a traditional "desktop", Windows will be obsolete for the average casual computer using person.
Even higher here. F-Chat - MTD top 10 os visits % Win XP 188,235 49.8 Win Vista 90,697 24.0 Mac 69,639 18.4 Iphone 11,045 2.9 Win NT 4,114 1.1 Win 7 3,782 1.0 Win 2000 2,766 0.7 Blackberry 2,492 0.7 Linux 2,144 0.6 *other* 1,852 0.5 *6 operating systems
I use XP Over years, have visited/posted: using Win: 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista Linux: Red Hat, Mandrake [now Mandriva] iPhone PSP
I can't for them to do this on the a phone. Verizon droid due very soon, I think it will give both MS and the Iphone serious competition.
I voted Linux, I do have four machines running it, have 5 Macs, a ton of XP-Pro, and one 64 bit Vista workstation running. XP Pro is what our main OS is, no problems to speak of. It will be interesting to see how Windows 7 plays out.
still on XP Pro. I do have Vista on a laptop but I rarely use it... May get windows 7 on the new laptop I'm ordering though, and on my new PC next year (for directX 10 mainly)
Got a new MacBook Pro 13" 2 weeks ago, running Snow Leopard & couldn´t be more happy. I´m done with Windows.
