What OS do you use?

[Strider]

Pretty simple poll. Just pick one. The other option is meant to include FreeBSD and the like.

 

[Padma]

I picked what I have on my system.

I run PCLinuxOS. I have lately started to run Win2K on it, in a virtual machine, to better handle some Windows-based games. But of course, VMWare/VirtualBox aren't the same as dual-booting. (But you already know that. )

I play Civ4 on my wife's Vista box.

At work, I have a Windows XP-Pro box on my desk, but most of what I do is in a terminal window talking to one of many RH Linux servers.

 

[Zelig]

Vista on my main PC, with random other stuff in virtual machines to play around with.

 

[Shadylookin]

the majority of the time I'm on ubuntu. however i use xp and vista fairly frequently. i would like to try the new version of FreeBSD out but i refuse until I find a DVD iso(I don't want to have to swap out CDs 19 times again)

 

[Genocidicbunny]

I would have a triple boot system with Ubuntu, XP and FBSD, but GRUB keeps farking things up, so Im left with only FBSD and XP.

 

[Aramazd]

I run XP and have run Ubuntu and FBSD in virtual machines.

 

[GenMarshall]

I have Windows XP
Kubuntu and older windows OSes run through VMware (virtual machines)
Windows 3.1 via DOSbox
Mac OS 7 on a Macintosh Plus emulator (Mini vMac)
Mac OS 7.5 - 9 on Sheepshaver

XP, because a) Vista doesn't seem to have any clear advantages from my point of view, and b) Windows is the only feasible option for gaming.

 

[Pentium]

I have a dual boot of Kubuntu and Windows. I rarely use Windows, but I have enough disk space and not enough time to erase it. Also, there are still games

 

[Ankka]

Dual boot, but I strongly prefer linux in anything I do, I use XP only when I have to for some reason.

One of the reasons is that so far there isn't a recent driver from Ati to make my Radeon 7500 run at real speed.. but it might change.

 

[Quintillus]

Currently Windows XP, and planning on keeping it with XP only for the forseeable future. Used to have on this machine:

*Windows Vista. Got rid of it because it wouldn't run all the programs XP would
*Ubuntu. Got rid of it because GRUB corrupted my master boot record, which was very inconvenient.
*Windows 3.11 (and thus DOS 6.22 as well). Got rid of it because I couldn't get my Windows 98 upgrade to work, and I was eventually able to get XP. But it did work (natively) on my new hardware, if not ideally.

 

[GenMarshall]

*Windows 3.11 (and thus DOS 6.22 as well).

I typicaly store it in a flash drive (along with a DOSbox program for Windows and a Universal Binary for Mac OS X)

Same for Mac OS 9 (Sheepshaver) and Mac OS 7 (Mini vMac)

Why I have a DOSbox Universal Binary for Mac OS X? I have an aunt that has a Mac computer.

 

[Souron]

No triple boot option? No radioactive monkey?

 

[mangxema]

Right now, Vista on my desktop, XP on my laptop. I've been wanting to put linux on something, but haven't made up my mind.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

Windows XP, but I'd like to be able to dual-boot Linux with it.

 

[raketooy]

Vista Ultimate on my main computer, and XP Media Center on my second computer.

 

[Speedo]

1x Vista Home Premium
2x XP Pro
2x Win2k
1x MSDOS 5.22
1x SUSE
2x Knoppix
1x Mandriva

 

[GoodGame]

Single boot XP pro.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Vista Ultimate on my main. Vista Ultimate on another and XP on 2 other really old machines. I was running Ubuntu and Fedora on Virtual Machines but I wasn't doing anything on them that I couldn't do on Windows so I got rid of them. Originally I was doing all my torrent activities on Linux but it became such a nightmare to configure and maintain the software for running IP block lists etc and I don't really have time for it right now.

 

[BirraImperial]

Vista Ultimate on my home desktop, Vista Home Premium on my new laptop, Win XP at work.
