What do you use - Windows, Linux or Mac? [POLL]

[xkeyscore89]

I use Windows 7 and a version of Ubuntu Linux running Backtrack 5.

[Silverwolf_Ru]

Windows and Linux. Linux (And Android) has great capabilities for running on old, portable hardware providing astrophotography and scientific support Windows is used mainly for gaming by me.

[CoinGeneral]

Mac is such a superior machine for devs and customers. So many tools that are so intuitive and powerful to use. Lets not forget about its security 🎃

your trolling right ?

No, I love macs. BTW Don't reply to ME like I am that OTHER GUY, I'm someone completely different. Now that that is out of the way.

Macs are pretty cool. No their hardware isn't that great, but their operating system is A+++ in my opinion. 100x better than Linux of course. Not better than Windows, no. But easier than Windows, most of the time yes. I say Windows has 1 million times more customization than Mac, but in ease of use, Mac is the way to go.

But my favorite is still Windows. I know I may offend some people when I say Linux sucks, but, it has frustrated me and yes when Vista came out I switched to Linux, I even learned how to do a lot of cool tricks on it, I knew the terminal commands and whatnot, but then Windows 7 came out, I got that, and when I went back into Linux one day, omg frustration out of every fiber of my being. Never again.

Nah, windows sucks imo!
I like macs since OSX is a LOT more stable than any windows or linux (desktop) version. Macs are also great because they are based on UNIX and therefore runs UNIX commands and programs. The mac is on the other hand not very customizable. Linux comes second because it's open source, UNIX commands works, it is 100% customizable and extremely powerful. I don't like windows at all since it is buggy, laggy, closed source, microsoft and there is a lot of malware to that platform.

No if there weren't Windows around, Linux and Mac would not have been created.

I don't know about Mac but Linux was created in 1991. We probably can't say that Windows was in its infancy right then (since it was introduced in 1985) but surely not what you mean by being around...

I kind of agree with you. If Windows had been a better, more configurable and more affordable OS Linux would have been unnecessary.

I use Windows 7, because gaming is what I'm into, and Linux as well as Mac lacks in this situation.

Well, there are lots of great games in Linux, but, at the end of the day, most are released for Windows. I guess it's just because most of the people are using it

I started PC gaming when Linux pretty much had no bigger games released on it. Besides, being a huge TES series fan, I can only choose Windows as the games were released on Windows only. Possible to launch from an emulator or a VM maybe, but it won't be running at it it's full capacity.

You're joking, right?
The Mac was developed before Windows. Apple was first with the GUI-system and computer mouse. Bill Gates stole Apples ideas by misusing Steve Jobs trust. So, Microsoft is the bad guys. However, it was the competition between Apple and Microsoft that led to new innovations (for example Microsoft were first with multitasking).

I'm using Windows. Don't get me wrong. I am a strong supporter of Linux and I have used Fedora Redhat for many many years.... but I found it quite difficult to use sometimes, so gave up using it all together.

[dopey]

Alot of Linux guys, that's really refreshing to see.

It seems that Linux is getting momentum now...

[Peter Lambert]

Why not give an option to choose more than one?

At work I have a company supplied computer running Windows, but I also frequently use systems running on linux (Our NMR machine is run by a RedHat system).

At home I have a Mac, but I drop it into a virtual machine Ubuntu for several things, at this point my Mac is so old that new releases of software do not run on it and so I have resorted to switching to the Linux versions of things (horray for Linux backward compatibility!). The next home computer I get will probably be running Linux of some sort.

[Ecurb123]

there have already been two other polls asking this question, one of them I made. But it doesn't hurt to ask again because over time the answers can change.

Off topic question, does anyone know how to find all the threads a user has started? Because I was going to reference the thread I started but actually I don't know how to find it. It was hundreds of posts ago.

i PREFER linux, but use windows when i need to Civ/Dino D-Day

[hownowbrowncow]

Mac Chiming in. Got a Windows that's mining now, and will setup a Linux when I can find some video cards.

[eyjgvfdhbshm]

windows 8, because my laptops running windows xp and 7 got bricked. I haven't used Linux since Sony removed otherOS from PS3.

[catquarks]

I have different versions of Linux on all my machines, but a few of them double-boot with Windows 7. I make music with Ubuntu Studio.

I don't like Apple, but it has nothing to do with their software: their knack for planned obsolescence gives me environmental cramps. So wasteful -- and expensive.

[Hova]

i like gaming so i use windows

[peta4e]

Not a question Linux is the only logical and ethical choice : )

[Bagatell]

Still sux for making music.

[t1000]

Linux ftw. All my mining rigs are running linux.
