Question of the Day, January 4, 2011

[hopeneverdies]

Vista Home Basic and proud of it.

 

[dmase]

...Vista :.(

 

[Qmonster]

Well, I put Mac OS, but I'm dual booting XP on the same computer. Can't vote twice, though.

 

[Twilight_guy]

At the moment its booted in Windows 7 but I also have Linux on here and use Cygwin on top of windows for some things.

 

[Naheal]

I run Vista 64 bit. With all the proper service packs, I have no issue.

 

[blankedboy]

Windows XP Pro SP3. Bitchaz.
But I do have a couple of things that make you think otherwise, like my changing wallpaper and Windows Classic theme... It's purty ^^

 

[Scde2]

I had no choice but to go with a Vista.
Upgrading to 7 whenever I can.

 

[Kouen]

Laptop XP
Desktop Win 7 x64 ultimate

 

[Lord Nosferatu]

Win7 and XP on my PC, Win7 and Ubuntu on my laptop. I find it useful to have some options like that.
I had Vista once. Never again...

 

[Jacking]

XP - You can't beat a classic. Laptop has W7 though and that's not too bad.

 

[Davey Woo]

Windows 7 64bit.
Got the computer in June last year and it would have been hard to get anything else with it.

 

[Hatchet90]

Mac OS X Snow Leopard here... I'm guessing I'm a pretty small minority considering this is a gaming website XD

I thought there would be more OSX people still.
All my friends, gamers or not, use Macs.
I guess that is not indicative of this site's constituency.

Mac OSX 10.6.5 ftw.... also known as Snow Leopard.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

Windows Vista on my school computer (I want to throw it out a window)
Windows 7 on my parents' computer (the one I'm on now)
Mac OS on my laptop

 

[Pielikey]

Windows 7. Kinda wish I kept an install of XP, though, there are quite a few games that don't run on 7 but I still enjoy playing...

 

[Aenir]

XP all the way. It works and only a very few games have moved away from it so far, none that I truly cared about.

 

[psivamp]

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.

Last I read, Apple has ~10% of the consumer marketshare. And I'm fairly certain that almost no one uses Mac for a real server.

Edit: According to Wikipedia, Apple has 6.8% of the consumer marketshare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

 

[DragonChi]

Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Great OS.

 

[Catalyst6]

Windows 7, I've yet to have any serious problems with it. After all, most software is made *for* seven.

As for the rest, I don't use Apple because I hate how they put barbed wire fence around the things that YOU bought, and I don't use Linux because I am not a flagellant.

And before people start pulling out their Linux-peens (Oh, wait) please think about why almost everyone that uses Linux has it on machine with a dual-OS, instead of simply using Linux as the One OS to Rule Them All.

Yeah.

Linux, if you laugh at that option your a noob.

Having that said I run moon os, thinking about switching over to freebsd.

My a noob? Looks like someone doesn't know the difference between contractions and possessives.

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!

Well played, my friend. Well played.

 

[Ironman126]

Oh god! So much Winows!

I thought we were better than that, Escapist...

Dude, this is a GAMING site. When have you seen a Mac or Linux machine with game support? Valve titles excluded.
