Like the title says what OS are you running and whats your opinion of it.
Im running :macgun: Windows XP Home and since this is my first and only computer (a commodore 64, or an apple 2e dont count as REAL computers in my books) I dont have anything to compare it to.
I'm running XP pro. It has a few extra options. I've still not had an OS that ran as bulletproof as Win2k did. I never, ever had it crash on me.
WinXP Pro here too, on all my machines. Windows 2000 is better though, I agree. Windows ME is the worst OS ever...
My OS is a POS
Desktop: Windows ME
Laptop: Windows 98
Palm: OS5
Custom Computer: Either going to be a Lindows or OS/2 Warp
Work Computer: Windows NT 4 Workstation
Ooo OS/2 Warp. I've always wanted to mess with that.
Home Desktop: XP Pro W/ SP2
Laptop: Same
Work Comp: Windows 2k
I Prefer Either one but have learned that xp is definately best for individual users and win 2k is best for enterprise enviroment, or in my case labs at schools. A lot less fluff to turn off!
I use xp pro on my computers. My work pc has :macgun: 98Se
XP Pro
Used Gentoo for a bit but I need windows' support for tvout and emulators
I had win2000 on a 75mhz server, most stable os i have ever ran,(macs would prolly beat it, but who messes with a mac,aka less then 1% of all computers)
really it depends on which computer
quantity speed os
2 1800mhz Windows 98se, Suse Linux, Red Hat
1 1600mhz Windows XP (Home)
1 350mhz Windows XP (Corprate edition)
4 333mhz Windows 98se
1 266mhz Windows 98se (This one is mine, DVD player with 5.1)
2 233mhz Windows 98se
1 75mhz Windows 95
1 (25mhz486?) Windows 95
1 ?486? Windows 95
1 386 Windows 95
Wow I didnt think that it was that many....
Up until a month or two ago, All computers were pluged in and operational. They arent now because we moved into a house about half the size, I think that we might have gotten rid of the bottom 4 or 5. We got rid of a couple of old TI computers and at least 5 286 or older
heh, in elementary we had some of those really early, new Macs. They recommended we save every 5 minutes and even then we didn't make it to 5 minutes half the time. I have a grudge to get over.
Win XP Pro SP2
My car is 16 years old, my O/S is only 9.
Ah, OS 9. Yeah, the old OS was pretty flaky, although it was usually better than a comparable Windoze version at the time. OS X changed all of that...it's extremely stable, no crashes, and a very sophisticated OS now. You'd be surprised at how much it functions like XP.
New Mac sales = 3-5% on average.
Installed base of Macs = 10% or more. There's many more out there than you think.
BTW, OS X 10.3.5 on all 4 of my computers.
Work laptop Win 2000...
Home pc (which i don't really use due to the fact that i'm always on the work laptop now) runs Slackware Linux. It was used as a webserver on which i hosted my website but i temporairly took it down
Windows 2000 Pro
it's crashed on me a few times. i blame IE for that. i stopped using it and the crashes went away.
I have to admit that there really isnt that much setting windows and os apart. Windows was written worse, but it was also based on os 2 i think. Honestally if i could get a mac for cheap I would. they are the ultimate in video editing and sound.
i knew it was more then that, only statstic( spelling) was from a early 90's mag.
It was far before OS9...it was 10+ years ago.
and yeah, OS X is a nice operating system but what do you expect when its based on Unix. Great kernel that is (reason I liked using Gentoo so much when I did).
XP Home on 2, 2000 pro on 3.
Funny thing about that. I stop driving my T-Bird every winter and the fuel economy goes way up, the odometer stops climbing, and the tires stop wearing out :hick:
