Which OS?

[Escher]

Just wondering what OS' people prefer. personally im betting linux is high on the list along with windows and macs lose out (the geeks/nerds of the cubing community might not go for the arty farty macs...)

Im a Vista boy, btw

So XP, Vista, Mac OSX, Linux, or pre-XP Windows?

 

[ShadenSmith]

I dual-boot Ubuntu and TinyXP.

I'm old fashioned. I use XP. I might switch to Vista once my coworker makes me a copy.

I have an i mac (mac osx) with windows installed on boot camp. i have another laptop with vista which i dont use anymore.

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

Linux all the way.

 

[tim]

It's spelled "Mac OS X" and "iMac".

 

[immortalcube]

Dual-booting Kubuntu and XP.

Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and OS X. Never owned a copy of Windows, never paid a dime for Microsoft product and never, ever will.

I'm pretty impressed at the amount of Linux in the group, but hey... smart people make smart choices.

Microsoft. Lowering expectations since 1987.

You do know that Windows has MUCH better security than Mac right? People say Windows is worse because most of the viruses and spyware and all that stuff is targeted against Windows. No one attacks Macs compared to Windows.

I can't find where I read this but... There was a hack test for Linux, Windows, and Mac. Mac took 5 minutes, Windows took a few days, and Linux was never successfully hacked.

Linux all the way.

Agreed whole-heartedly.

OSX FTW! Vista FTL.

Vista?! Is that even an option?

Vista doesn't deserve to be called an OS. Vista is a disgrace to everything IT related... and i want a personal apology from Bill Gates.

 

[Escher]

hehehe sorry...

Edit: im not Bill Gates, but i did make the poll...

Its improved greatly thanks to service pack 1. It is actually a very good OS if you need to have more than 3 gigs of ram. I do not use Vista but saying its a bad OS is just spreading false information around.

Macs are just WAY too over priced so for me who likes bang for the buck (even with a 2000 dollar system). Plus everything a Mac can do either linux/windows can do at a cheaper price 95% of the time.

I use Xubuntu linux and it does everything I want to do (except play tf2 so I dual boot but I'm on Xubuntu 90% of the time).

XP on my main computer, Vista on my laptop. I hate Vista, let us all be clear on that. It is bad.

I'm surprised at the number of Linux users. But I guess the cubing community isn't quite representative of the general population.

I've been a Windows girl for most of my life, but switched to Ubuntu about a year and a half ago and never looked back.

 

[boiiwonder]

Windows XP

FTW!!!!
