What's your PREFERRED O/S system

[LynneSin]

Poll question: What's your PREFERRED O/S system

Here's the ultimate battle - what is your PREFERRED operating system for your computer.

[Caution]

1. NeXTStep

The basis for Apple OS X. But Cooler. Still have my NeXT at home.

4. I prefer Win 98 SE.........

....... most of the bugs are worked out by now and the hackers have moved on to fresher game (later versions). I still don't like paying tribute to Bill Gates though.

[htuttle]

18. Color Turbo?

...or Classic Black Cube?

I ALWAYS wanted one of those, but now I got OSX, so it's all good.

2. Windows XP and FreeBSD

[sabbat hunter]

3. windows

i prefer windows XP pro and 2000 pro. both are stable systems, with little in the way of crashes.
much better than the earlier versions of windows.

8. yep

Microsoft XP is definately a usable OS in my opinion. I am ready to politicize a lot issues in life but OS is definately not one of them.

5. It's GNU/Linux! (not just linux)

6. Mac OS X

Microsoft built Xp just to try to keep up. Advancements in OS X has pushed Microsoft's next new build called "Longhorn" back at least a couple of years.

12. I've used OS X and it's great

The BSD base is great, and of course Mac has a beautiful looking front end - I use it on my iMac.

[sujan]

9. rightly so

with the GNU toolkits, where would the kernel be?

[TSIAS]

7. Windows XP

Although I'm not too happy about the worm I had last week.

[sujan]

11. hmm

how did you get the worm? Are you in the bad habit of downloading any attachment you get?

clue me on this.

10. MS-DOS 5.0 is still the best O/S ever.

Hands down, case closed.

[parasim]

13. I prefer MacOSX

No question about that. I've used all flavors of Windows and still stick with the Mac. Have for 17 years.

Watching Microsoft trying to keep up has been quite entertaining over the years.

[Gato Moteado]

14. mandrake linux

followed by solaris

if i must use windows i only use win 2000 or xp.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Crossing my fingers and thinking anti blue screen of doom thoughts..

that about sums it up.

[LynneSin]

16. Ok who here is voting with telepathic thoughts!

We WANT to know!

[Atlant]

17. No VMS or MVS bigots here??? (NT)

[leftofthedial]

19. Mac OS X

to be precise.

[Kolesar]

20. This is the best poll yet. I have actually learned something in the posts

Keep writing, folks.

[LynneSin]

21. eep! I have to redeem myself

Time to think up of some useless poll!

[alfredo]

22. 13 % of our population is left handed

24% of Mac users are left handed.

Makes one wonder why that is.

I use OSX and I am left handed.

[NashVegas]

28. Wow, Freaky

Another leftie here.

[Not a robought]

23. Commodore Basic

rox0r

[Atlant]

26. VIC-20, C-64, or PET? (NT)

[Thor_MN]

29. I actually miss 65XX assembly programming

on occaision. Usually when I'm trying to figure out just why a hunk of VB code isn't doing what I think it should. Or when you figure out (the hard way) that converting a SQL Server float to an integer rounds instead of truncates.

[ikojo]

24. I love my Mac

I can multitask much more easily on my beloved Mac without getting a low on system resources warning. This is simply not possible on windows. My Mac does not lock up nearly as much as my blows machine did.

Once you go Mac you never go back!!!

25. XP Pro

Most of my PCs run XP pro.

7 PCs on XP
1 PC on 2000 Pro
2 PCs on 98se

[FreeperSlayer]
