Windows. Smile

Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,
Pondering his Voyage.

Back in the 80's i was using the basic MS-DOS system for orders, stock, deliveries etc. while working at a large dept. store and thought at the time there could be a better more "user friendly" system, then a few years later up  popped Bill Gates and made everybody's lives much easier! I started using the 3.1 version then 98, then 2000 pro, and where i work now is exclusively XP Pro, never had any probs with that at all, and i hear there is to be a new Windows system out soon, Windows Vista. The one i least liked was Windows ME. i have XP home and 2000 pro on my music computer, though i have heard the Mac OS  is much better for music and imaging programs which professionals use, much more powerful.  As for Linux, i am still mastering windows, so i won't complicate my life further!

Windows Xp at work and I am planning Linux for half of my laptop with Window (already installed) as the other half. >> then I connect to internet from home.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

^ as a web developer I *hate* Mac users because they always complain the web pages don't look right for them. Mac may be a good platform, but Safari stinks!LOL

Windows XP.

I really suggest Mac though. I've used them quite a bit; they're SOOOOOO much better, I can't emphasize the difference in user-friendliness enough!

Linux, or for the past several weeks Windows. In a couple of weeks I won't be running this machine 24/7, so I'll be able to actually use the dual booting I have and fiddle around getting Fedora Core nice. I do have a virtualised OSX accessible but it's basically useless to me since the one thing I would actually use a Mac for doesn't work through virtualisation...

    Mac OS X Tiger, and I love it. I can't stand Windows, and I did have a machine with XP.

Windows XP at home and in the office (workstation), but I develop software for Linux computers. Well, most of it is written in Java, but it relies heavily on the Unix environment.Smile
