What is the OS of choice?

[Hodge20001]

OS X mainly, due to the reliabilty of it.

i have a lappy with xp and a virtual i use on os x for the few things that dont work on my imac (PKR etc)

[Mr.James]

I use all of the options listed except Apple Cack.

Running Vista Home Pro at the mo, only cause it came pre-installed on my new laptop. So far had no problems running in 64-bit. Once Win 7 is officially released will probably move over.

7 and XP

running xp without any problem but its a Jurassic one almost 7 years old

Linux on one laptop and windows 7 on the other 2, have to say very please with it

I'm now using Windows 7 RC1 64-Bit and no longer OSX Leopard.

[Mystical_2K]

Desktop 1 (custom built pc) : Windows 7 (64-Bit)
Desktop 2 (aspire revo 3600): Windows 7 (32-Bit)
Desktop 3 (custom built pc - old): Windows XP Professional (SP3)
Laptop (advent 7 something): Windows 7 (32-Bit)

really liking Windows 7 at the moment (as im sure you can tell) mainly because its been very reliable and i have had no problems using apps/games that i would normally run on XP, also it runs very reasonable on the revo which only currently has 1GB of ram.

laptop 2, win7 / xp
netbook, backtrack 3 / jolicloud / xp
macbook pro,- osx
main desktop, vista / ubuntu / debian
2nd desktop, vista MCE
3rd desktop, xp / osx (hackintosh)

and no i didnt realise i have so many computers lol thank god for decent KVM's hahaha

btw, jolicloud looks and works great, its built on top of ubuntu and works on loads of netbooks, as far as i know theyre in private alpha testing at the moment, but there was some talk of being able to 'invite' people to try it out. if anything comes of it I'll post the invites

XP here too, just installed 7 to a spare HDD and while its nice, what's the point? I guess I'll have to upgrade eventually but as it is i cant be arsed reinstalling everything just so it looks a bit more shiney.

On a similar note, should I install the 64 bit version on my core2duo?

May as well do. It's about 1/3 faster (maybe not in real world just yet but it will be) and can support 4gb+ RAM

Just out of interest, why do you dislike OS X?

[helmsman]

My son prefers his xp for games. I am running 2 (don't laugh !) socket A AMD machines with XP for day to day internet and office applications. My netbook is also on xp for performance. My media centre is on MCE 2005 which should really move onto 7 when they are not using it. At the end of the day, XP can do everythings that we want it to do.

[DejaVu]

Windows 7... Now used as my main OS! Get in!

XP's still OK, but dated. Vista blows.
Did consider trying Hackintosh, but have an AMD based PC, so didnt bother.

I use Ubuntu 9:04

Here's a Screeny

For playing games we use either our Ps3 or Wii

Mac all the way, right back to System 6 - currently on Tiger (OSX.4.11) on both machines and System 7 on a PowerBook and will have Snow Leopard (OSX.6.n) on my new iMac shortly.

Wouldn't touch Windoze with the proverbial!

Sussed

Indeed I do
