I want to take a poll. Which operating system do you use?
Once you vote, could you also state why you use that OS? Lets make this topic have a lot of detail, enough to convince someone buying a computer to go one way or another :D . I think this will be really interesting. You may select a maximum of two options.

I only have XP Pro right now (two copies of it- I use on for gaming, on which I have most regular features disabled, and one for normal activities). I used to run XP Pro and Linux Fedora Core on my old computer.

I've been using Windows since it first came out. While I don't agree it's the end-all, be-all it's still not a bad os...at least, XP isn't. Vista isn't too bad (now) either.

I use WinXP Pro. It would be boring if everything is working ok and if you don't have to fear viruses, trojans and bluescreens. So WinXP is my first choice not to get bored.

I use Mac OSX 10.5. Better than any Windows OS (or anything made by Micro$oft period). :D And if I really need to use Windows (for example activesync) then I will just use bootcamp. :P Two for one deal :D

Bensawsome- what computer (hardware) do you use? I also agree. There is not one virus on Mac and 144,000 viruses for Windows. But so far, there is not one virus for Windows Vista. But I do think Mac is better than Windows. Just that there are less applications and things for Mac than Windows XP.

I think the best setup is: Mac OS 10.5.2 / Windows Vista Ultimate / Ubuntu Linux (or Fedora)

hmm, maybe I read unreliable information. I just got a MacBook Pro with Leopard 10.5.2. No viruses so far. And I don't think I'll ever get one :D
