What are the most common operating systems that you use? These can include the ones that you use at school and at work, not just at home.

At the moment, I use Windows 7 at home and also Windows XP. At school, I use Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard.

Vista and XP, XP is for my personal computer, and Vista is for my familys computer.

I using a Windows XP now and it's been that way for a long long time...I think.

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #3 on:** August 25, 2009, 05:21:40 AM

I've used all sorts of different Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
Right now I'm running Mandriva One Spring 2009.
(In the past I've used Ubuntu 8.10, Kubuntu 8.10, Sabayon Linux 4, and Fedora 10)
Windows 7 won't work anymore, it went through an RC update and blue screened, so I can't use it, makes me sad. :C
Other then those, I like good ol' Windows XP.

I haven't used Mac in a long long time though.

The Rad! I didn't know you were a tech enthusiast.

Best stay away from me then, my curse knows no bounds.
I can break a computer without even being in the same room as it.
Like my bad luck has learnt to how travel through the interwebs.

EDIT : Tech enthusiast? Holy [tornado fang] no, I'm far from that!

It doesn't necessarily mean you're good with technology. It only means you have a curiosity for it. You're willing to try out technology and different operating systems. All that jazz.

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #8 on:** August 25, 2009, 05:43:40 AM

I get curious yes, but I go in blind, so things don't always work out for the best.
But if it weren't for Linux, I wouldn't have any computer access aside from an hour a day on my Mom's PC.
So I'm glad I'm curious.

I had XP, until I got my laptop which has Vista. Which actually, has not given me any problems at all.

Satoryu · **Reply #10 on:** August 25, 2009, 08:16:16 AM

i've had the same XP PC for years. i could use a new computer, but i'll be damned if it doesn't have XP. i've gone through hell and back trying to help my grandmother with her Vista-equipped laptop.

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #11 on:** August 25, 2009, 08:52:32 AM

Easy.
Get new PC.
Format hard drive.
Install XP.
Done. No fussing with Vista.

Akamaru · **Reply #12 on:** August 25, 2009, 08:59:17 AM

For years, people are like "I got problems with my Vista!" or "I wouldn't work on my Vista!". When will they learn to go with XP and stay?

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #13 on:** August 25, 2009, 09:00:21 AM

Cause people get curious.

Quickman · **Reply #14 on:** August 25, 2009, 09:10:46 AM

I'm a PC and I'm too poor to ever be able to afford a Mac.

borockman · **Reply #15 on:** August 25, 2009, 09:13:30 AM

Windows XP, with a bit knowledge of Mac, but mainly PC guy.

VixyNyan · **Reply #16 on:** August 25, 2009, 09:53:59 AM

XP-tan~ ^w^

Flame · **Reply #17 on:** August 25, 2009, 10:23:47 AM

What I have noticed about Vista is that it has a few unnecessary things, such as the fact that the start menu doesnt cascade and opens in the same "window" thing. and I dont change it to classic, because the side tabs are convenient.

then, theres the stuff it SHOULD have. It does not have Windows Picture and fax viewer, meaning I have to open Gifs in Firefox.
which is fail.

then on the start menu, the power button actually puts the computer to sleep. you have to go to the little side arrow and the little side menu to select what you want to actually do, Shut down.

other than that, it just takes a bit of getting used to. Coming from Xp, it a bit overwhelming since its pretty drastically different. but I got used to it. no problems yet. Except Windows Firewall has an annoying habit of turning itself off on occasion.

RMX · **Reply #18 on:** August 25, 2009, 11:50:43 AM

XP on all my machines and I have Ubuntu installed on this for academic reasons

Irgendein · **Reply #19 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:46:19 PM

I'm "stuck" with Vista on my laptop, and XP on my home computer (which I never use), I did try to put Ubuntu on my laptop, by Vista actually prevented me from doing so (kinda like the whole Wii Homebrew thing).

I should hope you turned off User Account Control? (you know, those annoying extra warnings you get when installing things and such)

My computer has Picture and Fax Viewer, but when I want to go to paint to edit something I have to do it manually because the picture edit button is broken.

But in all honesty, I hate my XP....

*Kicks my 7-8 year old problematic XP* damn Dell, making slow ass computers....

I still have the XP that works for awhile now as an working OS system for me, other than that, the OS seems to work pretty much fine right now. $:\$

Old time WinXP SP3 user, interspersed with some Kubuntu and Win7, and from time to time, I venture myself into the mysterious worlds of FreeBSD.
