Which OS do you use and why?

[Klod]

let us see ur opinions...

[aFTERMATh]

XP because Im too lazy to switch to Vista. :):):)

[xmaspoo]

XP because Vista is too graphic oriented and buggy, and I don't have $1,000 to shell out just to buy a Mac. Although the new Mac Pro is my dream PC.

[sdelsole]

Looked into buying a mac about a year and 4 months ago but bought a relatively cheap laptop for a third of the price.

It came with XP and I haven't switch. When I get a new desktop in the next year or 2, I'll likely switch over to Vista which hopefully will have its bugs all fixed.

[Dreamsearch]

Vista ultimate x86 - with a good PC to support it's features and requirements it's great. Works flawlessly for me, and it's perfect for my needs i won't switch to anything else for nothing. Actually i like it so much that i intend to buy it.

[wiseD]

Good old xp. Everything works with it, it's faster, more relaible and more customisable.

Tried vista, and a week later I was back with xp.

No mac, for the simple reason I can't afford it :(

But even if I could, I reckon I would never leave my windows PC alone...

[sWiFT]

k. I use windows vista ultimate on my pc. windows 2k3 server, FreeBSD 6.2, Debian and Fedora on my servers.

[rondo]

XP and only Xp..

use it cuse vista is very very bad, and i have problems installing linux

[lamf77]

I only use XP, never used Vista before but after reading up about it, I dont think I'll ever wanna use it - Most things I hear about it are bad reviews. My pc definitely couldnt handle it either.

[Dreamsearch]

How can you tell an OS system is bad if you never tried it yourself. Internet is full of BS you know, vist doesen't have even half the problems tha xp has. It is a lot more demanding on PC resources, but just because you can't run it doesen't mean it's not good enough.

[Omega]

Yeah if you have the memory to run Vista then do it. I don't think it deserves all the bad rep that it's gotten. I had the same or less problems with Vista then i did with XP.

[lamf77]

I didnt once say Vista was bad did I? I cant even run Vista so why bother even trying it? Ill stick with XP thank you very much.

[InviteEvery]

windows xp because its easy to use :P

[bobtheorange]

XP, because everything works with it :P. I have tried mac and vista, but I still think XP is the best option right now, till everything works with vista.

[batelray]

i have 3 macs and 2 windows computers use them all kinds different things theres pros and cons to every computer and brand

[FrankLucasFan]

Win XP, b/c Bill Gates controls the world. Also, can't afford better comp for Vista.

[rainnex]

xp, it's easy

[deliric]

I'm sticking with XP. Why change to Vista when XP is working fine? :D

[blinkblink]

I.m using Windows XP and SuSE linux on my PC. Linux based system is on my sattellite reciver, and in my GSM cell phone. Surrounded by Linux, but mostly XP... ;)

[a115]

Win XP - I tried other OS and think XP is the best now.

[InviteMe]

Vista looks gud...i use Xp atm but when i get a new comp will look into switching to vista to give it a shot :)

[bowlerFromDaYaY]

don't have any problems with XP so why switch to vista

[escapeodt]

Heavily modified winXPpro. Need to have it on my stationary, since my university's server has problems with browsers that isn't IE, n' slightly heavier modified xp om my laptop (as close as OS X one can get). I do prefer OS X n' ubuntu, though. OS X since it's nice and clean, and ubuntu since it's easy and has gnome.

[saddam]

i dont like vista because it is too slow.i am using xp pro now.but i want to try mac os leopard...

[amade]

I was using windows XP for a long time. Recently I tried Vista which caused freezing my PC whenever I run eMule and uTorrent simultaneusly. So I tried to delete Vista installation by rebooting, selecting XP on my multiboot selection, and trying to delete the directories related with Vista. It didn't work! Simply I couldn't delete these directories.

So I had to format that drive to delete those directories....What a nice work Vista caused!!

[escapeodt]

So I had to format that drive to delete those directories....What a nice work Vista caused!!

Absolutely _lovely_ system. (Feel the sarcasm.)

Heard MS themselves thinks vista is too bloated. Naa, seriously? Longing for a good liter for it, though. I love how it handles RAM, but don't want all that extra crap installed within it.

[axxom]

I simply use xp-sp2,for now I'm planning to upgrade to sp3.
don't wanna compromise with my pc speed with vista.

[stjimmyc]

XP is what i use, because Vista simply won't run in my Laptop... But even if i have the choice, i might end up with XP...

[Druid]

Debian lenny on my laptop. :D
XP on the family computer.

[goodgirl]

Well I have XP on my Desktop and I recently got a laptop with Vista on it... kinda prefer the XP though Vista is pretty :D

[mindtrick]

Windows and Linux. I like lightweight (but also featureful) Linux distros which make my PC fly!

[SilvanGold]

10.3.9 and 10.4.9 because im to lazy to update, hehe

[vaio]

ubuntu 7.10 it is very userfriendly & can use every windows software there

[escapeodt]

ubuntu 7.10 it is very userfriendly & can use every windows software there

Photoshop? Haven't yet seen a wine that managed to run photoshop.

[chimychang]

I use leopard on a macbook, because I think the interface is way more intuitive and it looks nice. Had a lot of virus problems so i got the mac and never looked back.

[Ti-Fan]

XP pro coz i believe they are the best for my system right now..
powerful and light!

[adsharma23]

Right now i use Leopard on my Macbook Pro
also using Apple's software boot camp I run Vista Ultimate
and Using VMware Fusion i run both windows xp and recently ubuntu
I would have to say that Leopard is the best overall
while Vista is the best looking
XP is the best windows overall
and Ubuntu is by far the most customizable but also the hardest to get used to (which is why i also deleted it)

[shiarua]

Vista Ultimate x64

Reason: It my be bloated, but Ive got a Quad core, 4GB Ram, and an 8800GTX. It runs fast and it looks good. Havent had any problems with it yet, plus DX10 looks incredible

[Quickster357]

xp sp2. my laptop is 4-5 years old and is slow as hell. i'm going to be getting a new one soon...hopefully.

[ct5s]

m$ window$ xp sp2

[pinkfloyd]

Ubuntu but gonna switch to Fedora tommorrow. Windows only if a Blu-ray movie I buy is too new to be cracked using Linux.

[jwilcox25]

Windows XP Pro SP3 RC2

I find it's less bloated than Vista and Apple OS's. And it has better compatability than Linux without resorting to virtualization. Also, I'm just really used to it.

[Assasin110]

I've used both Vista and XP. They both have there pros and cons but for now I would stick with XP. As I'm on Vista right now and as previously stated, there is still many glitches to be dealt with.

[kaiseris]

Was using Vista when I got my new desktop. Too bad it was so unstable. I'm back to good ol' XP pro. Trying to switch to Linux, but it's a such "pain in the a**" ;)

[Master Razor]

I use XP Pro because of my current pc config (an AMD Athlon 1900Mhz, 256 DDR and a 32MB video card). I also installed Vista but that didn't work out:D.

[mandms]

tinyxp cause its fast as hell!

[Nubbi]

Xp with little tweaking

[JB81]

XP, because I don't know enough about Linux to be comfortable with it, and not Vista until they get most of the bugs out (prolly around 2015 or so...)

[DasFox]

XP at the moment, and I use to run Linux, but any other OS I'm into running I just run it now on VMware.

[thefoals]

vista i like it a lot

[Mr_Crowley]

I am still just using XP Media Center because I am afraid to upgrade (or downgrade lol) to Vista because of what everyone I have talked to has told me.

[Lyoko is Cool]

I use Windows 2000 (My computer is not fast enough for XP). I'm trying to get into Linux and I am Using Mandriva (The only problem, LDS is borked)

[missyou2t]

xp, and utunbu. I want to have macbook air, but don't enough money :((

[toxxic]

vista, waiting for a proper sp1 for 64bit before i decide if i want to keep it or.. go back to xp?

[biggie944]

xp because its all i know

[Sourge]

XP, it's all I need.

[kennymike]

vista ultimate trimmed down - it handles memory at a whole other level -for video it is a must

[optimus78]

I use windows xp pro and vista ultimate 64

[Diwad]

imo vista rules, its no more uncompatibile right now so i think its even better that XP

[KRoCk85]

vista ultimate 32 bit on desktop, and 64bit on laptop

[Ethan]

i have 2 pcs with vista and xp. vista is nice but i am sticking with xp

[kanc3r]

Its kinda funny ppl on crazy fast cpu + mucho memory so they can run vista. I'm curious as to how those things run on linux or mac. I like xp very much but I hate an eye candy o/s and put everything to classic that i can (altho enlightenment on linux is nice and I guess kde is too). I haven't used a mac in years but I plan to try to get osx86 installed at some point. In any case my I like many linux distros because it open source, modular, extremely customizable, and runs fast. Ubuntu 8 should be out by the time anyone reads this.

[Kook]

Windows Vista Home Premium, as ignorance is bliss :)

[tigretoncd]

XP Pro...don´t like vista...

[Maxime24]

Good old xp. Everything works with it, it's faster, more relaible and more customisable.

[qwertys]

I use now only the vista system...

[poisonkev]

I recently purchased a Macbook wit OS X Version 10.5.2

[MattSpec]

im using vista, its visually pleasing and im used to the file system now so i just got used to it and cant really stand using xp now...tried ubuntu linux, didnt work out either...

[leibniz]

Windows XP, any program works on it

[RAK]

xp more fast and easy to work.

[Anansi]

i sleep better at night with ubuntu

[formos]

winxp for couple years but when microsoft will kill this system i will have to change for vista:/

[Cal]

xp wmc...fastest of all xp but switching to vista anytime now...just cause im bored

[benjisan]

OS X 10.5.2 Leopard all the way!

[Alpine]

I'm using XP, because my computer can't run Vista. But next week i'm getting me a new computer and that will come with Vista Ultimate.

[Invernoso]

win xp. it's good to me, vista is more heavy on the pc, and if i'm happy with xp, why trade..?..
I dont use mac, simply because i don't need it..

[PirateChest]

I have xp because it is the most stable os at the moment and doesn't hog to much off your resources :D

[BUXER]

Windows XP - simple the best ;)

[~MaNiA~]

win XP ...im hesitant to use vista though

[Romeyo]

Windows XP SP3, Ubuntu 8.04LTS, Cent OS 5.1, Fedora 9 and PcBSD :D Windows XP SP3 as main Os and others in VMware :)

[JBolinha]

I'm using XP, because my computer can't run Vista.

same here :(

[gladiatorgeo]

xp more reliable

[NewBoy]

same here :(Did you guys try Vist Tiny or something like that???It newest version of Vista it works on slower PC,and are more stabile if you are gamer,if you want i will try to find full name,i just herad,my friend told me,he have that version...And his pc is prety old(intel prescot on 3.0,and AGP slot and 1Gb ram)

[Relik]

XP... Never got used to Vista lol

[borosk8]

Xp, but but on my notebook i had Vista and the only thing that i have done with it was format c:/ :D

[Alpine]

I'm currently using XP, because my computer cannot run Vista.

[german103]

XP - faster.
but i use to upgrade to vista when tired of XP, then downgrading to XP when tired of vista, and so on :)

[maccam912]

Ubuntu (linux) because the 7.10 alternate install CD can do entire hard drive encryption.

[jroddxd]

uhhhh
LEOPARD!

haha

[RichPeasant]

XP FTW. Vista requires too heavy set-up which I don't possess ATM. Also, no drivers for it for this lappie.

[rozinix]

I'm running XP on my main system because Vista is too resource hungry. Got Ubuntu on my laptop

[fisker]

ubuntu 8.04

[dghda]

xp
because it came with my computer.
i continue to use
because of habitudes :)

[MyMindIsAPrison]

I use Mac OS X. By the looks of the first page, there are a whole lot of Windows users here!

[Nameless]

Windows XP

If it is not broke then do not fix it. But you can add on to it

[culbert]

I'm a linux guy and chose Mandriva Power Pack for my desktop since it installs all the codecs and drivers I needed during setup. Still I can't get fully away form XP so I run that in a VM.

[cappy]

I use vista 64. Yes it uses alot of resources, but you can do alot with it now, and it will only get better (I hope)

[KongShaoLong]

Dual Boot openSUSE and Vista.

[linux]

mac os x

[justbelikeme]

xp64 bit.
my motherboard couldnt run 32 bit for some reason so I switched. This has the added advantage that I can use 4Gb of memory.
Once you find all the drivers the os is really good, but a lot of idiots dont seem to know of its existence, even now after over 3 years.
for example i just bought a WD mybook world edition. It comes with some special software without which you normally would not be able to access the disk. This one craps out of setup immediatly complaining that it needs XP or Vista.
Luckily I can hack the box but for any average user this type of behaviour is fubar.

[killerbee]

Xp, it is fast, still works great, little bugs left and most software works for it

[argantinatracker]

leopard

[supernovax]

win 2k.. runs well on low ram..

[seatownclown]

windows vista because I dont have any problems with it and I love the graphics

[HarmlessNoob]

I have 4 Windows OSes installed, but I only use XP. My Vista has gotten unstable after all my tweaking, and my newest copy of XP runs better than my old copy of XP and also does everything I was using Vista for a lot better.

[ghostrider13]

I currently use XP because it came with my computer. I won't upgrade to Vista until it's been around a little longer to get the bugs and kinks worked out.

ghost

[manimal347]

I run Arch Linux on both of my machines, and am kind of surprised that nobody has yet mentioned it. It's currently one of the most popular power user distros, and is basically an easier to use pre-compiled Gentoo. I like it because it gives me a blank slate (or box of legos) to build my computing environment with, and never treats me as stupid or prejudges what I might want to do. Windows 2000 was the last Windows version I thought was really good, XP just being a rehash with things like a Clippy-inspired search dog tacked on to appeal to "home" users, aka people who liked MS Bob and need help to find the power button. That said, by SP2, XP became fairly stable, if a bit shiny, and I've never minded it much on public computers.

[PirateChest]

Windows XP SP2 because it is the most stable OS at the moment

[Jinaku]

Vista b/c that is what my dell laptop came with

[forthat]

vista i looks good great aero theme

[NonPermissiveEnvironment]

vista i looks good great aero theme
;_;

Windows XP SP2 because it is the most stable OS at the moment
Heh.

I use Crunchbang Linux, because it runs fast as anything, and has Ubuntu's huge repo's of programs.

[Kreios]

I use windows XP mainly because I got used to it and I don't have the hardware required for a Vista installation.Sometimes I try Linux but it's kind of different and right now I don't have very much time to learn it.

[aleksang]

XP

[aleksang]

Xp And Vista

[jonatasmz]

Windows XP SP3 because it is stable, and i love games :P

[dlinux]

I use Windows 95,just because it's tha best.

[S.p.i.r.i.T ®]

Before some time i`ve buy new PC, and using Vista a while, but when i sell PC and buy wheels on car :D i buy laptop and install vista again everithing goes very slowly, because vista on celeron CPU isnt best idea :D so i downgrade to XP SP3 and im satisfied :) Everything go normally and much faster.

So when i had quickly PC vista was best solution
And when i have slow laptop now, XP is da best :P

[careclub]

I use Windows 95,just because it's tha best.

DOS 6.0 was better.

[jonah_ro]

i have been using windows XP for many years now. i find it to be pretty stable, and since i am not am organization i don't feel the need to be running a linux OS

[hitman1986]

Xp Sp2 works with current configuration

[tikuna]

XP SP3 + openSUSE 11. windows for games and linux for the rest.

[systemzzz]

Windows Xp Cox i can Play More Games and can be 5x times much faster than VISTA

[PokerMD]

Linux\Windows

[nino81]

XP sp2

[blitzmoiko]

mine, xp and suse 10

[Andrey]

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Edition, Service Pack 2
Why? 'Cause it's simply the best!

[luke4manutd]

of course vista, i love it in every way , the looks the feel, i used to have xp, but thought id try vista, and i made the right decision,

[inuya]

windows xp, ubuntu

[Intrusion]

i use XP because its all i need :)

[Dreamlite]

I use Vista. and i have to say Xp is better.
but i believe in the near future, Vista will be improved

[freak35]

XP because Im too lazy to switch to Vista. :):):)

agreed

[fuzzylogic]

i've had vista for nearly 12 months and this current install for nearly 8 months. By far the most stable windows install i've had and its continued to be stable every since. i don't really get the negivity that follows vista, sure it was buggy ride for the first few months but after a few updates its really good.

i really would like to get linux up and running, i have ubuntu i should find a spare compy and give linux a try :rolleyes:

[chailvr]

Vista x64 + Ubuntu (CompizFusion) + XP x32 for my really stable needs. I triple boot off a RAID array of 2 500gb's.

[Snake17]

I have XP because its simply the best.

[roderick]

i use Mac - Tiger and Love it!

[kingrl2]

XP on my home desktop and vista on my work desktop and laptop. I can live with either one, haven't had too many problems with XP

[miludaKIA]

I was using Kubuntu for a couple of years when just recently I tried out Linux Mint. I was never a big Gnome fan, but Mint ended going from my VM to my main partition within days of trying it. For anyone interesting in trying Linux but wary of the unknown, I can wholeheartedly recommend Linux Mint as a solid and user-friendly OS that just works. I haven't once been forced to use the command line since installing it (but I DO use it by choice, of course).

I'm not here to forcefully convert anyone :) Just sharing my positive experience.

[nayrod]

for now only win XP, but maybe in future i will try vista

[nattzor]

Xp..

Cuz i h8 vista and i dont wanne try linux or others OS like that :P

[german103]

Vista.. got bored with XP

[jack18]

xp. i don't like vista..
and sometimes ubuntu and debian because i love linux..

[mandms]

Leopard cause it never crashes :)

[PokerMD]

Linux

[esmith]

linux because I am too lazy to install drivers for windows

[mrmattrix]

Windows Vista becouse of its support for drivers...much better than by XP. And it work prety perfect on a good machine...

[roxbury]

XP Pro x64

.. Because it works.

[aka]

xp 64 pro.
because of 8G mem and dont like vista.

[phaetor]

use xp cause i need it to play games

[JayZilla]

XP as workstation as it's currently the best windows out there and linux for servers due to it being more stable and secure than windows.

[Kingfish]

Vista Ultimate x64 because I just bought a quad core with 4GB RAM and 8800 GT and trying to downgrade to XP would be a waste. I'm a computer guy for a living and I've found that the people who say they hate Vista are either trying to put it on older, slower computers that can't handle it then saying that it stinks or haven't even tried it but are listening to other people complaining about how bad it is. Sure it had it's bugs in the beginning and it takes up a lot of resources, but if you have the hardware to run it it's way better than XP and all the updates and SP1 took care of a lot of the initial problems.

And for the people who say they're waiting for all the bugs to be worked out, if you keep waiting long enough Windows 7 will be out and you won't have to worry about Vista anymore.

[lover89]

Vista

[loggedin]

I use Vista,Fedora 9 and Mac OSx

Doin R&D

[ZRYTYBERET]

Vista ultimate x64

[Mysser]

Linux because windows is for children :)

[Paideian]

vista

[baba11]

I use Vista x64 on my main PC and XP 32 bit on my seeding PC because of its low specs

[erbatim]

dual boot with vista / xp

i'm testing out vista

[loggedin]

Linux because windows is for children :)

LOL. Linucs is for noobs:p

[xardas45]

XP sp2 because i like this os.

[tomlock]

XP on my main PC, Slackware on my server, because it's very stable

[sectoRR]

xp, because i dont have the money to cough up for vista.

[NiX4]

XP.Why? It is a standard :D

[Fish]

Vista because I'm too lazy to switch to linux atm... Been trying to fork my computer for the last week or so, but just too lazy :E (and can't really use anything else than vista or linux due to my OEM parts on my computer, no support on XP)

[j3ss3]

MacOSX Tiger (10.4)-> Leopard(10.5), with Parallels Desktop emu-ing wind00ze ... coz it rocks, unix based, flexible, pretty, etc.etc. MAC Rules ;P

[togomory]

XP it is easy to use

[erasil]

debian - so mefriendly, im lovin it!

[gjwwe]

XP because it has a great amount of usability and it plays games the best :)
Ahaha and dont pull the whole: BUT U CAN PLAY GAMES IN LINUX!!! I love linux, i use it, just not as much, but you cant play the popular games :P

And dont go sayign: USE WINE!! ITS NOT AN EMULATOR, IT USES THE REAL API!!!
Yes, i have used wine lol, but it doesnt run Counterstrike source NEARLY as well as on my XP:)

Gotta love XP once you've tweaked it to take up no resources and make it start up in like 5 seconds. Compatibility and the fact that windows is a standard is a plus :)

[magic323]

Vista, because it was installed on my system when i bought my pc :D

[Invalid]

Vista Ultimate x64 b/c i have the hardware to run it :). It's faster than XP if you have the right hardware that can handle it.

[Mats]

Xp, because it is easy and the best windows out there. I wish I could use linux but I don't have so much time to learn and get used to the open-source os ;-)

[Invalid]

XP because it has a great amount of usability and it plays games the best :)

Actually recent test have shown Vista with SP1 perform better than XP on SP3 in many games. Software developers are starting to put more time into Vista drivers as oppose to XP drivers.

[Fish]

Ubuntu 8.4.(something... I think 2)... So, the answer would be Linux :)
And I use it because I see no point in using windows... Linux is so much better in almost every way, I can have an SSH server running here 247, and check my torrents/irc/whatever remotely from wherever I am, which is pretty awesome for one... And it is a bit faster than windows, which really wasn't slow, but its a plus to add. And it's free, and no need for antiviruses or such uselessnesses (is that a real word? :P)

[Xpress]

I have just recently switched to vista

[zxspectrum]

XP pro SP2 - fast & stable + compatibility
i recently used Ubuntu but i had some horribly problems with my hardware drivers compatibility and forbidden it

[Pube]

XP (hate vista) and ubuntu. I used gspace too.

[nobody]

XP

but i might go up to vista when things start requiring it and when i get a better processor

[MajorHarrison72]

I use Vista and XP. I use XP for gaming and Vista for everything else, unless its a game that has to be used on Vista.

[iguanzzz]

I use Vista and XP. I use XP for gaming and Vista for everything else, unless its a game that has to be used on Vista.

the same ;)

[phoenix]

Xp because I have more programs that require Xp and don't work on Vista. Also I have some compatibility issues with Vista and my graphics card.

[roberth]

Arch Linux, simple and intermediate distro which provides what I need.

[nobody]

Xp for the games

i tried ubuntu, was too noobish to even get resolution working right

[violinraja]

XP

[luqius]

XP
because Vista sucks to much recourses and linux is to user unfriendly and not suited for gaming.

[oleajaq]

Xp

[PhAnToM77]

I use Vista Ultimate SP1. I like it. I have an AMD 2.6 Dual core and 4GB of memory. Runs smooth and fast. Just need a new monitor =/

[asxst0rm]

XP, it's the most user friendly and convenient.

[scratch]

Still using XP. Haven't made the switch to Vista for two reasons:
1. Heard a lot of bad things about it. Even though they might be fixed by now. Who knows? I haven't been keeping up.
2. Still too expensive for me to the upgrade. Well not really, I can afford it...but would it be justified? No, atleast in my mind not yet.

Off topic: What about Windows 7? Isn't that supposed to be the "Holy Grail" of Windows? The one that will solve all of our problems with current OS. Note the sarcasm.

[Xiel]

XP for main PC's, Windows Home Server for...well server, & ubuntu for EEEPC.

[eatchocolate]

Vista FTW.
Wish there was more 64bits programs out there outherwise I'll be with Vista x64...

[bluejazz]

I choose macos

[ripjak]

xp because i like it better than vista/vistaids

[timan]

mac os x

[GBytz]

windows more demand for everything

[DesoNoto]

XP. I'd use Ubuntu but there aren't many good programs for it. :S

[xXxCloudxXx]

Vista cause it looks cool lol!! oh and i like some of its features

[Vincero]

Good old xp. Everything works with it, it's faster, more relaible and more customisable.

[danish007]

Xp beoz i m in love with XP and can't leave it

[ramires]

At the moment xp but i'll switch for vista because now vista is better than xp and faster

[regression]

Kubuntu with Kde 4.1. Flashy and yet stable unlike Vista :p

[pdttah]

i think XP is good
and sampel more than Vista

[awdtalon21]

xp because my computer cant handle vista:(

[violinraja]

riding on the old man XP who refuses to die

[vintage2]

vLite'd Windows Vista x64.. I tried windows server 2008 but the install footprint was twice the size of vista x64.. so I couldn't justify it, though it seemed to be more stable. I actually like Vista because it's heavily modified and not the stock slug. When tamed, vista x64 actually seems faster than XP to me.

[SunSpyda]

Red Hat Linux Enterprise server KDE 5.1 with loads of virtual machines for compatibility.
The XP virtual machine is used a hell of a lot.

[sicdrummer18]

Windows XP SP3 Black Dream Vista - Most stable windows(Xp) with that unstable Vista look.

[butters]

windows xp because its reliable then others avil

[army333]

after using Vista for 3 months, i downgrade again to xp to play Spore

[kasiapawelek]

XP beacause it's faster then vista , and more stable then the old ones.

[Cal]

i use xp,vista,leopard :P on a pc

if you like vista but dont like it cuz its bloaded. dl the lite version...its stripped.

[mrflibble]

XP coz everyone else has it and most things work on it, Vista requires to much CPU power and Im too lazy to learn any other OS:)

[indecisive]

XP, I tried Vista, hated it and switched back.

SP3 with Vista appearance though!

[kLeFtHs]

I am still on XP. I guess I will go directly to Windows 7.

Windows because its more "compatible" with apps and games and XP because I have Vista at work and that's enough.

[Eon]

hi, i'm a happy gentoo linux user.
i started with dos/windows (3, 95, 98, 2000, xp) and switched 3 or 4 years ago to linux. first debian woody: i had a little home server, it was perfect! i still have it somewhere and it still works great (upgraded to etch though)
i've been using gentoo for 2 years now, and i don't feel the need to change since it does everything i want it to :)

[mmastodonn]

[brandon91]

[tomcat]

[dor123]

[Slay]

Windows XP Pro Service Corporate Sp3 is the best

[immortalic]

i use Vista x64, but only cause the DX10 avaibility and the option of having more than 4GB RAM at x64 systems if neccessary.

But I hate the folder/directory management. I can't get all my directories looking same. Almost everytime I open a folder the files view has changed. Till today i couldn't solve this.

[TheRiddler]

Vista because the established order seems to force it upon us!

[danell]

XP sp3. RULES! hate vista!

[L45er]

Vista x64 FTW! With 4GB RAM (or greater) it is a great OS (+ a Q6600).

Stable, fast, easy to use and good looking. What more could you want!

[Vandal]

vista, but i like xp better

[violinraja]

Xp sp2 still haven't tried vista
