What OS/Hardware are you running

Rik · Mar 13, 2009, 11:47:42

I'm just curious to find out how many users we have on each platform. I've given you three votes, so if you have multiple OS, you can select them all. (Of course, someone will have four or more but, hey, I tried.

)

Thanks.

Can't see the poll, so will vote later, but Windows XP and Vista for me, not counting the Eee PC, which is Ubuntu.

Rik · Mar 13, 2009, 11:53:58

You mean you want three choices?

Simon · Mar 13, 2009, 12:01:23

I would say there's quite a few here with multiple machines. It depends if we're voting for our preferred option.

sparky · Mar 13, 2009, 12:02:27

For me......Vista and believe it or not, due to work reasons, Windows 98!

Rik · Mar 13, 2009, 12:06:54

I liked '98.

I would be hard to poll for preference, I think (ie I can't think of a way to do it

), but I'm interested to see the spread of OS in use - I sense that the membership here is not typical, ie 90% Windows.

Windows XP for me, love it!

Simon · Mar 13, 2009, 12:26:34

That's not typical?

I thought we we listing hardware too

Win Xp (I386) on 4 desktops and 1 laptop

Ubuntu and Windows 7 multi-boot on 2 of those desktops

Ubuntu Server on 1 a mini-ITX providing SMTP, POP3, FTP and 5 virtual Apache web-servers

Mythbuntu on a home theatre miniITX

Ubuntu and Knoppix on flashdrives as portable O.S.s

Dragon 32 running Basic !

It was more OS than hardware I was interested in, Alan, but as people can run Windows on a Mac, I was trying to be as encompassing as possible.

Windows Stinky Vista 'Ultimate' (that's a laugh) on my hardware (desktop/laptop) at home.

CentOS on my servers in the States.

Simon · Mar 13, 2009, 14:01:21

How many votes are we up to now, Rik?

Rik · Mar 13, 2009, 14:03:45

22, and XP is winning.

Glenn · Mar 13, 2009, 14:18:49

A Vote for Windows Home Server

Glenn · Mar 13, 2009, 14:19:23

Another for Windows 7

Glenn · Mar 13, 2009, 14:19:43

Where is the Hardware vote?

Rik · Mar 13, 2009, 14:30:05

We'd have to run two polls, Glenn, and with hardware, the options would get a bit complicated.
