Hi folks,

tell me what computer OSses you have in use.

I love Mac OS X (if only there was DOSBox running correctly on it) and use it for almost every work-related things. (printmedia, design, image-manipulation, scripting, etc.) I run it on a PowerBook G4 (1,6 Ghz, 15", 1GB RAM, 100GB HDD)

For leisure-purpose I have an AMD 3200+ with WinXP, 512MB RAM, 160 GB HDD and a Radeon 9600. Why ? More games and progs are made for Windows ...
:ranting:

Cheers,

swiss

I have a 3 years old windows XP laptop. I am satisfied with it.
I also have a 1.5 years old PocketPC with windows mobile 2003 in it.


I have no plans or desire to buy an Apple, never had, even back in the 80s. I liked BeOS a lot, but RIP.
I have no good feelings towards Linux so I won't be getting that either.
For the future I wish I could avoid getting the Vista but I guess I might have to sooner or later. Though perhaps much later, XP should be around for the rest of this decade.

I use both Win98 and WinXP, but I voted WinXP. I don't use Win98 all that much.

Voted for debian, simply because everyone will have XP which is my main one really - debian might get more use when i can be bothered to reinstall it and get it all going properly...

Still use XP, because I like to play new games like Doom 3 and Half-life 2 and it's hell to get directx 9 running properly on anything else than XP.. But I'm building a second machine now which will run on Win98 and this system will be dedicated to old skool games.. In the future I will make a dual boot on my first system with Linux for Office and internetting and XP (or Vista) for gaming.

Windows XP I use at home, and that's the one I voted for. I quite like this OS. But it work I use a number of different operating systems: Windows 2000 in the office (works mighty fine), and linux (debian and red hat) for calculations. To make things more interesting I also use Win95, Win98 and DOS v6 at the lab :whistle:
