      What's Your Current OS

      I always find it interesting to get current demographics on these sorts of things

      I've got a triple-boot system, Vista, XP, Linux (Ubuntu), and I use them the most in that order (descending)

      I've got an XP laptop for most of my web browsing and music listening, and a Linux desktop for most of my gruntwork (dvd rips or whatever, most programming, etc.) I'm not getting Vista until at least a few service packs hehe.

      Blah blah blah Vista, blah blah blah Linux...

      I might actually be getting a MacBook when Leopard comes out - Yes I know heaven help me but Apple seems to be the only company who really 'gets it' when it comes to building laptops.

      Just keeping with tradition, Ynot. I do believe I've exhausted everything I have to say about Windows/Linux in this forum but couldn't bear to make a post that solely covered the dreaded Apple computer. Such a topic cannot be left alone in a post.

      lol, So true. The only thing good about Mac is the bouncing icons. For everything else, Vista is better.

      1. Vista has MUCH better secuity, and free antivirus will do.
      2. Don't be stupid! Going to freestuff.com or torrenting stuff is not a good idea.

      Xp here, nothing amazingly fancy but its pretty ok. I am reluctant to switch to vista as i have heard it eats system performance and lowers FPS in many games, mainly because a lot of cards don't have suitable drivers for vista yet. I'll probably upgrade my comp big time or buy a whole new one around the christmas period( cheaper:p), i need a gaming rig for SupCom, this is just a ok cop that can handle most games.

      But my hubby loves the networking capabilities of Vista.

      Right here - voted

      Very ironic thing, though: I came in here checking to see if anyone had a thread regarding a G5 Pro locking up after 8 minutes or so. Now before all you PC dorks go yelling "ooh, see, Macs crash too... weeeh!" - I'm expecting the issue to be likely hardware related, like overheating rather than the operating system. Still, this is the first time I've seen the clock lock up on a Mac since.... probably system 8.5 or earlier.

      PS- aside from my mac at home, I also have a PC partitioned with Wndoze 98 and Linux (neither of which I use much, but it's there).

      On my primary computer there's dualboot: Linux (Debian) and Windows XP. I use Linux only . (Windows is kept just for the case of doing some school projects that must be done in proprietary software, e.g. Delphi and Access.)
      My second (old P133) computer is running Deli Linux exclusively (but I've stated conversion to Cross Linux From Scratch).
      Both computers are connected together via serial link - I like how simple is controlling the old computer from the primary one in Linux.

      Experiencing uncommon problems is a way to debunk inaccurate theories and find the truth.
