Which OS are you using?

[147]

Running Ubuntu. About to get a laptop, and run XP with andLinux on it, and switch this old desktop to Arch Linux, and use it as a fileserver between my laptop & xbox 360.

Wow, great to see so many linux users on here! OpenSource is one of the coolest things happening in tech today.

I run whatever I have to, for instance XP and Xubuntu at work. At home, where I have a choice, I find Mac to be cleaner and less distracting, allowing me to just do what I want to do (be what I want to be, yeah!)

 

[Merrick]

I'm running a Mac and a Windows side by side.

(VMfusionware)

I've been very happy with it ;D.

I might use Linux too, dunno if it'll mess up the OS LOL!

 

[GutLevel]

Ubuntu and OS X at home.... OS X at work

 

[wiggsfly]

I finally got my last computer off windows this last week. All OS X and Ubuntu for me.

Vista.

Is anyone using Windows 7?

 

[awitch]

Vista.

Is anyone using Windows 7?

I use 7 on my work PC.
XP on one home PC and Ubuntu 10.4 on the other home PC.

 

[BrianOnEarth]

Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit
Windows 7 Home Premium under Virtual Box for MS Office, and used very rarely.

Linux put me back in charge of my PC and has released me from the bondage of Microsoft. There is simply no going back.

 

[AirForceTeacher]

Windows at work - have to use FDCC because I work for the military.
Mac OS X Snow Leopard at home, with VMs for Windows 7 and some flavor of Ubuntu for tasks that need them.

I run older machines, so my OSes are rather old - except that I run the latest version of CentOS (5.5)

I have the following systems:

Dell Precision 410 (2xPentium II/350MHz 192MB) Windows Server 2003 SP2 Enterprise Edition (domain controller)
COMPAQ Presario 5461 (AMD K6-3 475MHz 160MB) Windows 2000 Professional SP4 (workstation) used for EBCDIC/ASCII text editing
Dell Optiplex 170L (Pentium IV 2.4GHz) Windows XP Professional (workstation) general purpose use
Gateway GC-400 (Pentium II 400 MHz) CentOS 5.5 learning about Linux

In addition: I run the following emulations:

Hercules 3.07 with HercGUI and HercPrt emulation of an IBM System/370 Model 158 2MB DOS/VS POWER/VS Release 34 (1970s-era multitasking, multiprogramming, batch-oriented mainframe operating system) It has DOS/VS Assembler, COBOL-D, ANS COBOL, RPG and FORTRAN installed. (this is running on my domain controller)

SimH emulation of a Hewlett-Packard HP 2000 Access System on my Dell Optiplex 170L (some of you who attended high school in the mid-to-late 1970s might remember this time-sharing system - and those old slow, Teletype ASR 33s that were popular printing terminals back in those days)...

Poll needs to be updated to include Windows 7!

 

[Perhaps Today]

I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. I like a lot more than XP, which was a great OS in its own right.

 

[larec_jv]

My computer run a 32 bit version of Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium. Personally i dont get why i hear so many bad things about Vista, it's been very kind towards me.

 

[~Tuesday~]

Macintosh OS X Version 10.6.7
Finder Version 10.6.8

This is on my computer in my room ^^

 

[freezerman2000]

Windows 7

 

[SyntheticPaper]

Mac OS X 10.6.7

 

[Blind As A Bat]

I run a mix. I run Linux kernel based systems as well as GNU Hurd, and UNIX.

Macintosh OS X Version 10.6.7
Finder Version 10.6.8

This is on my computer in my room ^^

Not a bad system. Bit pricey which is why I don't own one yet.

 

[RedLioness]

Just curious...

If you dual boot, please check all applicable boxes.

I'm running Windows XP Media Center and Linux Fedora 8 dual boot. Love Fedora! Def my favorite distro.

Way back when we used to own our first family computer it ran the archaic Windows 95 operating system which is very old and slow and only gives you the dial-up option (which was why I hated those computers). Nowadays we have better choices of operating systems, from this century (and not a operating system from the 1990s era). Currently on this machine I am running Windows XP. I have run everything from Windows Xp, to Mozilla Firefox, to Ubuntu, and every so often Christina (who is just another webmistress who gets on here) she may change my operating system if she thinks my computer is getting overloaded i trust her judgment, she has a degree in wed design and knows what she is doing.

 

[RedLioness]

I have not always known what I was doing with my own computer but Christina went to college and she has enough knowledge to help me with it when I mess up or something goes wrong on it.
