I thought there would be more OSX people still.Simalacrum said:
All my friends, gamers or not, use Macs.
I guess that is not indicative of this site's constituency.
My a noob? Looks like someone doesn't know the difference between contractions and possessives.syltman said:
And no, forgive me princess, I just like to get functionality out of my PC, and since I'm not a network administrator, there's really no reason to use it.
But hey, it's all cool man, let's just go play TF2 toget-... OH WAIT!
Windows XP.
Not had pleasant experiences with Vista or 7. And since Microsoft seems more and more to be taking a page from Autodesk's book, I have extremely low expectations for 8.

All games that I play work for linux which is wc3, sc2, HoN, WoW and Minecraft all work more then fine on Linux. I can browse freely without having anti-virus. I can customize it to my liking and style making me feel more at home and also make it alot quicker. Supposedly for TF2 the only thing not working according to winehq's test is "Voice transmission with snd_usb_audio microphones" which is something I personally could live without.Caliostro said:
I run all of them but xp. OSX for creativity and any games that can run on OSX. Windows 7 for games and other stuff.
OSX for primary usage and Windows Vista for games. Sadly, I've been too lazy to upgrade to Windows 7.
Regarding DICE ditching Windows XP, I'd say it's about time. XP was effective in its time, but it's time to move on. Windows 7 is the future for Windows, and continuing to support XP is only going to stifle innovation.

Windows XP (32-bit)
I bought my computer either as or shortly before the whole Vista fiasco. I've upgraded hardware since then but saw no need for a new OS. I guess I'm holding out for the "next XP" (the next stable enough version that a ton of people use and stick with for extended periods of time).

32 bit OSes don't do more than 4Gb. They do about 3.2Gb, including the RAM on the video card. Obviously, if your game + OS needs more than that, hard cheese.GamesB2 said:
My stupid-ass I.T teacher said that most people on the planet use Macintosh, what a moron he is now that I see the results of the poll.
Good thing I have all the original install discs and more.Delusibeta said:
I'll stay with 32 bit until necessity dictates otherwise.
