What operating system do you use?

[Thiele]

Since everyone requested multiple choice, i have decided to make a new thread on this and get the other one locked. There will also be more choices here.

I use Windows XP Home SP2

 

[Jondot]

Since it's now multiple choice, I use OS X, XP and Vista. OS X the most (Tiger, not Leopard), Vista when I'm in Bootcamp playing GTA and XP at school.

 

[jammyozzy]

Fedora 8 at home, XP Pro at home and school.

 

[TopHat]

I use XP, but I hope to have a Mac sometime in the future. 👍

 

[Wolfe]

New thread, same answer for me. Windows XP Pro, and it'll likely stay that way until Microsoft comes up with something better than Vista.

May I kindly point you toward : DosBox

I said I wish it was easier to play early Windows 95 and DOS games. I wouldn't exactly call DosBox easy, or efficient (the poor framerate of my Mechwarrior 2 YouTube video illustrates this).

 

[CAMikaze]

XP Home on my desktop PC and Vista Home Premium on my recently purchased notebook PC.

 

[Jordan]

I'm triple booting XP MCE '05, Vista Ultimate x64, and Ubuntu on my system.

 

[Tornado]

XP on two computers. 2000 on one computer, and 98SE on my old school crap Compaq.

 

[Barracuda]

I run XP on my current pc, but it used to run ME. Honestly, i miss ME a lot, but then I download something a 400kb/s and it goes away

 

[PLmatt91]

Had XP, Vista and Ubuntu all in triple boot a while ago, but something messed up my MBR's, so now I have XP and new Ubuntu 7.10. Couldn't be much happier

 

[Eric.]

I'm triple booting XP MCE '05, Vista Ultimate x64, and Ubuntu on my system.

Likewise, but 32-bit on Vista. 64-Bit Ubuntu though (FTL...).

Why do you miss ME?

 

[Wenders]

All 4 computers in our household plus my new laptop I am picking up tomorrow run XP Pro.

Seriously, like Jordan said, how do you miss ME? It was like the awfullest of awful Windows versions.

Me, I run XP SP2, and use Litestep to shell it over. So I did XP and Other, because the GUI and such is quite different most people think I am running Linux at first.

And I do have Ubuntu discs that I need to put to use.

 

[Matt R]

Windows XP Home Edition.

I've got Vista Home Basic for $50 if anyone needs one.

 

[WallRunner]

1 computer running Ubuntu 7.10, 1 Computer running XP pro, one running home, 1 computer with ME and 1 with 98SE, and one with 98SE that my mom fried.

Imma have to agree.

Vista Ultimate 64 x4
Vista Business 32 x3
XP Pro x4
Server 2003 (various flavors) x7
Ubuntu 7.10 x1

 

[F1GTR]

Vista x64. Better than XP.

 

[Revolution.]

OS X Leopard and Vista Ultimate on my Macbook Pro,
XP Pro SP2 on my two desktop PCs here.

 

[Thiele]

Far out, 48 hours and look at this thre already. It seems a lot of people use Vista already, i haven't actually seen it yet.

 

[Solid Fro]

I run Vista on my tricked out Core Duo Mac Mini. I do like to run Ubuntu when I repair broken systems.

 

[Viper_Maniac]

Dual boot of Ubuntu and XP Pro. I'm hoping my stepmom can help me get Vista as I really would like to try it out.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Windows XP Pro and Vista Home Premium

 

[GrumpEone]

All these XP people... Unfortunatly I'm still running Windoze 2000. God I need better equipment.

 

[CDailey]

Mac OS 10.4 Tiger

Why do you miss ME?

Start up and shut down times were almost completely instant. Other than that, I don't really know. I guess because i used it so long I got a bit attached to it.

Honestly, I didn't have as much problems with ME as everybody claims it has. I would get an error or BSOD from time to time, but what do you expect. It's an OS from around 2000 and I was using it 6 years later, so you can't expect everything to run right. Especially when it was designed to work with things such as dial-up.

And if you haven't used it before, you have no say in how good of an OS it is. So what if websites say its the worst OS ever. To hell with them, I used it for over 4 years and it wasn't that bad.

 

[Thiele]

1 computer running Ubuntu 7.10, 1 Computer running XP pro, one running home, 1 computer with ME and 1 with 98SE, and one with 98SE that my mom fried.

How many computers do you have? We have 1 working desktop computer and that's it (Other than my old 98SE that had an unfixable virus.). Hopefully i'm getting a laptop one day though.

We also might be getting Vista one day.

 

[Thiele]

Holy crap, i forgot Windows 2000.

Also, if you have ME, put it in Windows 9x, if you have 2000, just put it in XP.

I'm just interested, but who has the 2 vintage ones and what are they?

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Winslosh XtraPissy Home S***Pile2.

Fun. Or not so much.

I never said anything negative about it, and I did use it for more than year after it was released and never experienced any real problems - I liked it. How often did you reformat / reinstall the OS during that time period?
