    Re: Windows or Mac?

    Tiger on my main computer(laptop) and Ubuntu on an older desktop. Win XP home on VMWare on that computer, but I never use it, however I use it frequently on university computers.

    Mixture of XP and Vista. Vistra preferred though. Linux for a couple of months on the eee before I replace it with XP.

    Re: Windows or Mac?

    Linux user here. Would love to try OS/X but can't really justify the expense of a new iMac. Wouldn't personally touch Vista with a very long barge pole.

    Re: Windows or Mac?

    Im using Best of both worlds... as im using Dual boot XP and Vista.

    Im finding Vista 64 Nice and Quick on my Rig and a bit more up to date, but could never get rid of XP for compatibility is still far better Vista for a lot of H/W & S/W.

    Voted for the OS i now use most = Vista.... But XP is far from being replaced in my eyes....

    Re: Windows or Mac?

    Vista business for working - just because visual studio doesn't run on Mac OS X lol. I also use vista for games that don't run on OSX, or that prefer windows (CSS, BF2 etc)

    Max OS X (OSX 10 doesnt exist, the X is the 10) for everything else - email, web browsing, WoW etc..its just a nice environment to use, and while everything definitely does not "just work", it tends to work nicely enough to keep me happy
