[polaris]

[XxVascoxX]

69% Windows (xp, and vista on dual boot and all my program and Files on windows)
21% Mac As i have one ipod touch and my sister uses a Mac Air (besides i really like itunes and cover flow)
10% Linux as i had in 2006 i asked/applied for ubuntu and use it for three months but still i was not (at that time) a developer so i stop using it ..At that time it was free to download and you could receive it by mail ....i've got the version 6.06Lts For pc (i believe therer's for mac too)

I love iTunes cover flow and Internet Safari aswell, but I don't have a MAC so I downloaded them for my PC =D

If I were choosing, I'd rather have a MAC over a PC/linux everytime... I just love the style.

i use linux(my dad forces me _ _' )

I use Mac for editing stuff, internet life, and such, and for the gaming computer, I use Windows XP version.

Snow Leopard coming this September meanwhile Windows 7 with general retail availability set for this October. I can hardly wait for the both releases.

I prefer Macs 'cause its less-malware, less-virus and less threat rather than Windows that has lots of virus threats, malwares and others. Plus, Windows has market dominance in OS market which makes viruses love Windows.

I have Windows, always had, never felt like changing...

But don't you think, because there are not many viruses for mac, yet, that if they come it is easier for them to get into the computer, because there is no good anti virus stuff for mac, or is there?

 

[Rem91]

I primarily use Windows for general home use and editing, but I have no problem with either of these systems. I'm not all that interested in desktop programming, so I have little experience with Linux.

Macs are an easy yet linear platform to me, so I'll stick with Windows.

In the end, all of this fanaticism is worthless and incorrect - all operating systems can get malware.

Mac & Linux

Windows XP at work.

Yes, there's various anti-viruses for Mac in market today. For example, iAnti-Virus by PC Tools and Avast! for Mac version while the others like BitDefender and KasperSky that still in beta phase. Just choose according to your preferences, that's all.

I prefer Windows XP.. I wanna try Linux though..

Can't get used to Mac. Had one briefly, and I continuously tried to right click, in vain. ;-;

 

[KennethSoulSociety]

Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard.
It pains me to say this but I still use Windoze XP for my photoshop purposes. Sigh.

[Googlez_kun]

windows xp was always epic win and that's why i'm still using it!

 

[Arrogance]

I've got myself Widows, not really a fan of mac, apples cool and all but i think a lot of their stuff is too flashy for me and overpriced. Like people give the excuse that Macs dont get viruses and stuff but I don't either with my windows because I have decent knowledge of computers. Thats just my preference. I plan on getting Windows 7 when that comes out, my friend has the Beta version and it just looks sick, all the kinks from Vista have been fixed and then some. A lot fo cool features .

 

[merru]

windows ..since all the games I played only can be use in windows

[Bugzee]

Linux vs Windows 7

Windows 7

* Better at synthetic benchmarks.
* Faster transfer of large files.
* Final version likely to improve.
* Suspend/resume works!
* Desktop search is well implemented and can go online.
* Media libraries can be pinned to the start menu and task bar.
* Jump lists can genuinely help improve efficiency.
* Starter: No Aero and no 64-bit.
* Home Basic: Developed for emerging markets.
* Home Premium: Standard edition including Aero and touch.
* Professional: Adds remote desktop and encrypted filesystem.
* Enterprise: Unix application support and volume licensing.
* Ultimate: As with enterprise, but for individual users.


Linux

* Faster booting.
* Less memory usage.
* Smaller install size.
* Broader hardware compatibility.
* Nepomuk blurs the border between local and online.
* Gnome Do replaces the task bar entirely.
* Google's Desktop widgets now on Gnome and KDE.
* Starter: No Linux is this restrictive.
* Home Basic: Crunchbang or Ubuntu.
* Home Premium: For eye candy, try Mint or Kubuntu.
* Professional: Fedora offers encryption as an installation option.
* Enterprise: OpenSUSE should work well with Windows.
* Ultimate: No matter which Linux you choose, there's no restrictions.

Most of Windows 7 features are Linux based, and is true that Windows 7 is a very good product from Microsoft compared to previous, but still Linux offers more, without limitations, and you may configure your Linux to fit all your needs. ^_^

Re: Linux vs Windows 7

I can use both Mac and Windows, but I generally use the latter as it is primarily what gets used in the businesses that I work with. Windows was really the only OS that my college would teach people to use, as well, and the majority of good PC games which came out at the time were Window-compatible.

Windows 7...I can't stand Macs. The lay-out and programs just aren't for me.
